MELBOURNE, Monday, 20 July 2009 – Madman proudly presents DANNY BHOY LIVE AT THE ATHENAEUM (Available 05 August, 2009, SRP $29.95), the highly anticipated follow-up to Danny’s 2007 debut DVD, LIVE AT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE.  

Following on from Danny’s extensive, sold out run of 2009 dates,     including a 4 week season at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Danny returns to DVD with a brand new show, recorded live at Melbourne’s iconic Athenaeum Theatre.

The DVD promises more memorable tales from the globe-trotting Scotsman in his finest performance yet to date. As possibly the most-travelled comedian in the world, he describes, sometimes in painfully funny detail, the less glamorous side of a comedian’s life on the road. Sometimes introspective, occasionally outlandish, these true stories from his life are sure to leave you with a smile on your face and wanderlust in your heart.

LIVE AT THE ATHENAEUM also includes a special unreleased ‘Visitor’s Guide to Scotland’ as well as his famous ‘bag-pipe routine’, bonus scene and photo gallery.
