About Le Chéile:

The Le Chéile Artists in Ireland Against Racism project was launched in August 2000 at a special 'Riverdance for Le Chéile' event. Initially inspired by Moya Doherty and Robert Ballagh, who contacted Comhlámh with a view to addressing the issue of racism in Ireland - the project draws on the commitment of artists, musicians and all those involved in the arts and entertainment in Ireland to creatively challenge racism in Irish society.

Over the last four years, Le Chéile have provided invaluable training, education, and information: raising awareness of racism in schools, community groups and amongst the general public. The project also advocate on public policy and anti-racism and consistently work to promote positive interculturalism in all aspects of Irish society.

For further information about the Le Chéile Project or this event, please contact Alice-Mary Higgins at Comhlámh, (01) 4783490 or alicemary@comhlamh.org

Is this the same Mc Savage who plays the same show all the time in Temple Bar Square?

Very strange him to be playing an anti racism gig as his set is very racist in the first place.

He constantly plays on derogatary sterotypes the whole time.

Him at an anti racist gig very odd indeed.

Yeah- saw him the other day at a lunchtime comedy gig in Galway (he was the 'surprise guest'...unfortunately... I didn't laugh once. Hes not only racist but sexist. And just not funny!
He didn't even get much laughs and started complaining that the audience was too pc! No mr. savage...you're boring!
