Cha and Miah get set to exit the stage for the final time

Actor Michael Twomey isn’t usually late for his entrances but today he is keeping his audience waiting.

“I thought that was him coming,” says Frank Duggan, who looks disappointed as he escorts my colleague and I into the sitting room of his home in Blackrock in Cork. “I was about to shut the door on him and say we weren’t buying anything.”

The funny thing about Michael and Frank is that they are as game for a laugh and just as funny as their alter egos, Cha and Miah, the legendary Cork comic pair who exit the stage next week. Frank’s home is the setting for a final rehearsal for the last performance of Cha and Miah.
