Dame Enda Everage and Sir Les Patterson are to perform in Ireland for the first time in September.

The two characters, the creation of Australian comedian Barry Humphries, will appear at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast on September 29th and the O2 on September 30th.

He will be accompanied by the Ulster Orchestra for both events. It is the first time in 28 years that Humphries has toured his two most famous creations.
