That’s Limerick city!

Well done bandits I was at 2 of the shows in Edinburgh both of which were genuinely amazing. Firstly they were both sold out completely and at one of the nights I was standing near Hugh Grant and Sturart Lee and the second night near Elvis Costello and the Roland Gift from the fine young cannibals. Absolutely delighted to see ye cracking the UK The doubters had ye down as a fad or claimed that ye re humour wouldn t be understood outside Ireland. Well they ve got their answer right there. Kudos to ye both genuinely thrilled for ye.

Well done to all.

They were on channel four last night on the Boyle variety show,great reaction from crowd.

Congrats to the rubber bandits. You deserve it.

Ah you are bitter alright Paul and clearly by the thumbs down from your initial comment the majority of people on here think so also..By the way the people who gave the award weren’t local fans in Ireland in fact way they were all British comics and reviewers so that makes shit of that argument straight away. ….If you don t like it that’s fine but have some class dude and stop embarrassing yourself with such pithy protestations, you ll do yourself an injury :)

Paul Paul Paul let it go son they won an award in the UK that s all that happened. It takes a certain type of eejit to be interested in knocking someone after they have been successful on their own merit no big record company, no xfactor manufactured stuff just two lads who work their asses off getting a positive result. Don t be that guy there s still time. Do something positive with yourself …it s becoming increasing embarrassing, begrudgery doesn t suit anyone really it doesn’t … I think deep down you know that too

Colm,other than yourself no one is really defending them,other than the nine hits on the comment section, half of which is me and you going at it, speaks volumes of how popular they are. Even the granny story before this one has more hits..Now whose embarresed.Have a good day….

Colm… C’mon in all fairness this clip about Ivan is bad, even the people in the station did’nt find it funny.Thats the thing with comedy it has to be funny, make people laugh.These guys failed miserable on scotish radio . By the way the last time I checked this forum is’nt a ruberbandits website,maybe their website crashed after this great performance.Irish comedy was the pride of edinburgh someone always break through tommie,dara etc..these guys have been around awhile.and by the way when you get into name calling youve lost the argument and my respect for fair bit of banter.

Is it any wonder they were the last act,it was hardly a case of saving the best,just dont get them.It seems anyone the plays this fringe festival gets an award.@coloum way to much name dropping

Not in the least colm,I hope the make a fortune.But to be honest their material is very weak.It may be funny to their local fans in ireland. The spar bags has got old,their the jedward of comedy..By the way was hugh grant and the guy from that 80s band fyc,rolling in the aisles. Yeah…did’nt think so.

Wow…colm(eman) you should try the comedy stuff yourself as your crackin me up.I get it your from limerick and you want the boys to make it,thats fine.When i first heard of this act with horse outside, I thought great an act from outside of the Dublin area.It was a bit like when The Cranberries took on the world,exciting stuff.But these guys are going to find it very tough to break outside Ireland I wish them the best of luck,but I have to base my opinion on their scottish radio interveiw and that my friend was a very weak performance,the audience seem to clap the loudest for the guy who went on 2nd,he had won the crowd over who ever he was.The bandits seemed very uncomfirtable,they knew they had shit song, it was unfunny.I will check them out again I hope the prove me wrong. I guess im just not one of the ole ole,feilds of athenry, youll never beat irish kinda guy.I tell as I see it,for what its worth,think outside of the box,
