Pumping Northern Irish Comedy

Kneecap is a comedic and musical start to our 2025 program. Rich Peppiatt’s raucous Irish-language debut feature is a semi-fictionalised biopic of the anarchic Belfast hip-hop band Kneecap and their rebellious civil rights mission to save the Irish language. Mo Chara and Móglaí Bap are the stage names of two erudite working-class hopefuls who exploded out of Belfast in 2017 in a post-Troubles social environment, making waves with their tongue-in-cheek political lyrics. Soon to be performing in Australia (sadly, already sold out), Kneecap were one of the most talked about acts at the 2024 Glastonbury festival. They certainly pack a punch in the film: expect bursts of swearing, white powder, run-ins with the police, parents, girlfriends, and politics. Kneecap was awarded the Audience Prize for Best Film at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, plus numerous other film awards. Brace yourselves for a hilarious act of ‘pure delinquency.’ Madman.

Ireland, 2024, 94 min. Rated M. M. Dir: Rich Peppiatt. Starring, as themselves, Naoise Ó Cairealláin “Móglaí Bap” and Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh “Mo Chara.”
