2. Traditional t's a Cultural Thing.... or Is It?" and

“Mobile”
Traditional t's a Cultural Thing.... or Is It?" and “Mobile”Irish actor Michael Collins from the travelling community performing his outstanding self penned plays called, " It's a Cultural Thing....or Is It?" and “Mobile”. These two plays are a not to be missed, authentic true history of the Irish travelling community. When asked how long it took him to write these two unique plays, Michael Collins replied.... "about 24 years".

"Mobile" is performed by Michael Collins as a young adult in the travelling community, and shows the difficulties travellers had in dealing with Irish life as against settled people. Again, this play is an excellent lesson in Irish history that should not be missed by anyone interested in what it really was like to be a member of the travelling community in Ireland over the last 100 years.

3. "All Change",
written and performed by seasoned English / Australian stand up comedian, Kerry Leigh. Kerry was born in England but was educated at the Curtain University in Western Australia where she completed a BA with Honours, studying English with a double major in Creative Writing and Theatre Arts. Kerry Leigh says this about her play
"All Change" -- "Juggling isn't easy - some days you hand your baby a beer and ask your man if he's done a pooh-pooh. Has this funny mummy gone gaga? Ride the highs and lows of a comedian's experience of first-time motherhood as she shares her story with painful honesty and curious humour...."
Often mistaken for an Antipodean, Kerry was sent to Australia as a convict when she was just 9 years old for heinous crimes against fashion, returning to the UK in her twenties where she has since developed a dry and witty comedic style musing on the absurdities of life through the eyes of a pseudo-Australian.

4. Jessica Delfino
who went to Philadelphia Art Institute, which Jessica says is "the home of brotherly love...where the brothers love each other." After being seen by the INL News Team in London and at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, with her show entitled, Songs About Vaginas, , she was invited to join the NYITFest. Jessica has had some her songs banned by you tube and denounced….. yes…. denounced by the Catholic League. Jessica destroyed the audiences in London and in Edinburgh, when she brought her one woman show to the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It is hard to describe Jessica using just words, however the USA Weekly News described her performance as "innocently provocative."

5. Beat Up Dirty Yanks Crew,
An out-there character Los Angeles comedy group, now well-known as the Beat Up Dirty Yanks Crew, Ronnie Proudy, Tim Schwartz and Ty Twiss, after the show they presented at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival blew audiences away with laughter. These zany guys have the unique ability to interact with any type of audience, any where in the world without any script what so ever. These guys are improvisation specialists in character comedy, and are America's most idiotic, obnoxious, and energetic outcasts. Their now infamous Beat Up Dirty Yanks show in Edinburgh was a comedic character smack down slammed with stand-up, sketch and improvisation. Some contenders included Buck, a Jewish soul loving hick and Hector, a chauvinistic Mexican plumber. You simply never know what to expect from these guys so there is no way to put a title on the show they will present at the 2008 New York International Theater, Film and Arts Festival, other than they promise it will be show to remember and not to be missed. When Ronnie Prouty, the leader of the Beat Up Dirty Yanks Gang was invited to perform at the 2008 New York International Theater, Film and Arts Festival his response was, "I am very excited to go to the NYITFest, I will bring a variety show that will blow your top off."
So, be warned -- these guys are going to be armed and dangerous.
