Comic bachelors to shoot a movie at National Ploughing Championships

Visitors to the National Ploughing Championships in Ratheniska, Co Laois, could well feature in a new movie being shot on site by the hilarious duo Bachelors in Trouble.

The 'bachelors' are comprised of real-life farmer Tony Coffey and retired civil servant Sean Murphy. The duo have kept rural Ireland in stitches for the past 26 years. It is fitting that they are now to shoot a new film annually for the Ploughing Championships, which they’ve loyally attended every year for the past 26 years.

Their comedy act, Bachelors in Trouble, has spawned numerous DVDs and untold performances around the Munster region, and brought them great success since they came up with the idea for the skit back in 1989.
