IRFF25 Froggie

Brothers Fiachra and Tadgh peaked early at the age of 7 when they appeared on The Late Late Toy Show singing with their homemade puppet, Froggie. 25 years later, they are in comic hell, still singing the same ol’ song when their show gets cancelled. The world is pulling the brothers apart and they are borassic broke! To make matters worse, Froggie is stolen. A ransom video appears online – in a cruel twist, the thief will release Froggie when the puppet achieves 1 million followers!! Fiachra and Tadgh must team up to rescue their childhood puppet by helping Froggie regain his fame. Fiachra (Seán T Ó Meallaigh) and Tadgh (Gearoid Kavanagh) ham it up as the hapless brothers and are supported by a fine cast of comic actors including Carrie Crowley (An Cailín Ciúin) and Paul Oakley Stovall (who played George Washington in the musical Hamilton). The film is made (with love) in Galway and captures the chaotic roller coaster of the city’s bohemian (read stone broke!) artistic community.
