‘Failed promoter’ told he faces jail

A judge has warned a “failed promoter” he could be sent to jail if he does not get a “normal” job to pay back a debt of about €250,000 to comedian Mario Rosenstock.

Dublin District Court’s enforcement list heard yesterday that concert and events promoter, Darryl Downey, owes money to Blue Elf Inc Ltd, the company owned by mimic Rosenstock. His company is looking to have Downey jailed as a result of arrears.

Comedian Mr Rosenstock, who rose to fame with his Gift Grub sketches on TodayFM and now has a successful show on RTÉ, was not present for the hearing.
