It is 10 years since The Blame Game first appeared on local TV screens, and to mark the anniversary the popular comedy series launches with a special show to be recorded at the Waterfront Hall, Belfast next month.
Part of a new season of comedy from BBC Northern Ireland, Tim McGarry and his regular finger-pointing panel of jokesters Colin Murphy, Jake O’Kane and Neil Delamere are marking the milestone with a recording at the Waterfront Hall on Tuesday 25 October, with special guest comedian Kevin Bridges.
The new series, which is also broadcast on BBC Radio Ulster, will see the comedians – along with some of their other comedy chums – continue to shamelessly blame just about everyone for just about everything. The remaining shows will be recorded in the BBC’s Blackstaff studios with recording details to follow shortly.
Audiences can get in on the comedy action early by applying to be part of the audience for the special 10th anniversary recording at the Waterfront Hall, Belfast on Tuesday 25 October.
Tickets to this recording will be allocated on a first come, first served basis and ticket applications can be made from Sunday 25 September 25 at 2pm.
A maximum of two tickets will be allocated per applicant.To be in with a chance of watching the recording, which will last no more than two hours, apply for complimentary tickets online at bbc.co.uk/tickets
Tim McGarry, The Blame Game’s host, says: “I am delighted that The Blame Game is celebrating its 10th anniversary year. It’s a simple format that allows us to see the funny side of life in Northern Ireland and do what we do well in this part of the world – give each other a good slagging!”
BBC Northern Ireland’s season of comedy also features, on television, the return of Give My Head Peace for a one-off special, a new series of Delete Delete Delete with Patrick Kielty and the return of Late Licence, the series of comedy shorts showcasing new and emerging local comedy writers and performers, and, on BBC Radio Ulster, a new comedy series with Shane Todd and the Patrick Kielty-penned sitcom Big Country.
