June Rodgers Flash Mob, Oliver Bond, Red Cow Event, Christmas Show

Long established as one of Ireland's top comic performers, June Rodgers has regularly appeared on TV, in films and the full range of stage productions from musical theatre to pantomime.

Born in Tallaght, County Dublin, when it was still a sleepy rural village, June attended St Patrick's Cathedral Grammar School in Dublin.

Since first coming to prominence in John Player Tops, June has become a household name and a great favourite of young and old alike. Film work includes Agnes Browne with Angelica Houston, On the Nose with Robbie Coltrane and One Step Back starring Patrick Bergin and Brendan O'Carroll.

Her TV work includes a guest appearance in the 2009 series of the RTE medical drama The Clinic. June also hosted a radio programme on the history of variety theatre on the RTE radio documentary series Different Stages. Having appeared many times on the Late Late Show, she has even been brave enough to be a guest of Podge and Rodge. More recently she has become a regular guest on Joe Duffy's "Funny Fridays" on Liveline

As a cabaret artist June has starred in her own show for a number of highly successful seasons at the Moran Silver Springs and Red Cow Hotels and is delighted to be making a welcome return this Christmas with a brand new show.

The theatre stage is, however, June's first love. She took a leading role for six successive seasons in Ireland's premier pantomime at the Gaiety Theatre and in recent years moved to the Olympia in the production of Cinders and Jack and the Beanstalk. She gave a hilarious performance in the stage musical version of The Full Monty at the Olympia Theatre and on tour, and played the part of Edith in the Pirates of Penzance at the Helix.

She made a guest appearance in the Hallelujah Chorus at The Point, and is delighted, once again, to make a guest appearance with Billie Barry Stage School show at the Gaiety Theatre.

She has extensively toured the U.S. and has featured her range of crazy characters in a number of live and studio CD recordings and on DVD. Her DVD "Whatever!", with guest appearances by Derek Mooney, Senator David Norris and celebrity gardener Dermot O'Neill, was a top seller over Christmas 2008 and featured prominently in the Irish charts. June's new live DVD "The Name is Bond......Oliver Bond" is now available.

June lives in a beautiful old stone cottage in Firhouse, Tallaght, with her husband Peter Lane and their three dogs. To relax, she enjoys the simple pleasures of gardening and walking the dogs.
