Our Rex Ryan brings one man show The Witness to 3Olympia Theatre on February 14.

“Rex Ryan is the ‘one man’ writing, acting and directing. The play has been described as a “high intensity sh***un blast of a show”.

The story is based on the true crime bestseller of the same name, about Joey ‘The Lips’ O’Callaghan, who testified against two gangland killers. To protect him from revenge and ostracisation as a snitch, An Garda Síochána assigned Joey a new identity. He is the youngest Irish person to enter Witness Protection.

Ryan has twice been nominated Best Actor in Ireland by Broadway World.” - Hot Press
