RETURN TO SENDA

This show opened at the Seymour Centre in Sydney in March 2008, followed by my first Dublin appearance in six years at The Sugar Club.

The show featured largely new material for me, as well as a couple of songs that have become important to me for various reasons.

FLYING SOLO

I appeared in the world premiere production of this play in March 2007. It was written by Bruce Venables and Richard Fidler and directed by Judy Nunn.

I co-starred with Noeline Brown, Paula Duncan, Barry Quin and Jacinta John.

Flying Solo explored society's last great taboo - masturbation. Despite being ignored by the media at large, this show was a huge hit with audiences and is the most rewarding theatrical experience I've enjoyed.

LIVE & LEGLESS

Live & Legless explored my traumatic dating experiences! The show premiered at Slide in Sydney before opening in London at Too2much. In February 2007, I took the show back to Sydney as part of Mardi Gras, where I performed at The Seymour Centre.

BOYS LIKE ONE NIGHT STANDS

I had the best time touring around Australia with Courtney Act. Boys Like One Night Stands was a double bill that featured my show One Night Stand and Courtney's hit cabaret show Boys Like Me. We toured to Townsville, Cairns, Adelaide, Perth and Sydney with our musical director Tommy Olsen.

COURTNEY ACT & ENDA MARKEY - LIVE

While we were touring with Boys Like One Night Stands, Courtney and I made some appearances at various venues around Australia. This is the poster that was used to promote those appearances.

LEGENDS

Legends opened in Melbourne in January 2006 and went on to play in Sydney. I starred with Luke Barron, Liston Williams and Peter Rutherford.

The show featured the songs of Garland, Streisand and Minnelli.

As you may have guessed, it played during Midsumma in Melbourne and Mardi Gras in Sydney.

HATS OFF TO THE LEGENDS

Hats Off is annual event in Sydney and Melbourne staged by OzShowbizCares in aid of ACON. The show took place at Star City Showroom in Sydney (Febraury 4, 2005). Also performing that night were Caroline O'Connor, Paulini, Maria Venuti, Jeannie Little, Tim Draxl, Toni Lamond, Shaun Rennie, Trevor Ashley and Jack Webster.

HOME THOUGHTS FROM ABROAD

Home Thoughts From Abroad was the show where I explored my Irish heritage! I toured to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin with this show.

I loved singing songs that I'd never considered including in my repertoire like Danny Boy, The Town I Loved So Well and The Fields Of Athenry.

The season of this show in Perth holds some amazing memories for me. One day, I'll write a book!!

HOME THOUGHTS FROM ABROAD (Sydney Return Season)

Following the initial success of this tour, I performed it in a return season in Sydney in 2005

THE MANGINA MONOLOGUES (Melbourne)

Paul Emelion wrote this show for me and it is one of the most challenging things I have taken on. It was directed by Brett Cousins with musical direction by Matt Gilbertson and opened in Melbourne as part of Midsumma. The show also played as part of Mardi Gras in 2005.

THE MANGINA MONOLOGUES (Sydney)

I didn't think the "white" poster (above) represented the show properly, so this poster was designed for the Sydney season of the show.

ONE NIGHT STAND

I am really proud of this show! It was the first time I'd explored doing comedy and the response was fantastic!

It was written for me by Eddie Perfect and opened in Melbourne before touring to Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and London. I also did return seasons in Melbourne and Sydney.

This is the show where the now legendary Doona Boy first got introduced to audiences. I'll write another book!

BY POPULAR DEMAND

This is the last show I performed in Dublin before moving to Australia in 2002. During these performances the shows were recorded for release on CD. When I moved to Australia, I performed the show numerous times in Melbourne and Sydney as well as other seasons in Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide.

For those of you who missed it, check out the Recordings section of this website where you can listen to clips as well as buying copies of the CD on iTunes and from Middle Eight Music!

BY POPULAR DEMAND - Brisbane

After the tour of this show concluded, I revisited the show in 2004 at the Brisbane Powerhouse.

ENDA MARKEY IN CONCERT

I toured with this show to launch my first solo album, Another Place and Time. After a succcessful season in Dublin, I made my first solo appearance in Australia (at Chapel Off Chapel). I also performed this show as part of the Adelaide Cabaret Festival. I also made my solo debut in London with this show.

A SLICE OF SATURDAY NIGHT

I played Rick in this great show in London and Dublin. I loved this show and this role. I got to sing great songs like The Long Walk Back, Seventeen (which is on my By Popular Demand album) and lots more.

SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM

My first starring role! This show ran at the Temple Bar Music Centre in Dublin in December 1996. I co-starred with two of the biggest names in the Irish entertainment industry - Rebecca Storm and Brendan O'Carroll. Also starring were the wonderful Susie Fenwick and Sarah-Jane Bourne.

Side By Side was directed by Michael Scott with musical direction by David Wray and musical staging by Philip Connaughton.

FOLLIES

I don't think I will ever work with a cast like this again! I was in this show in 1996 with a huge cast that included Lorna Luft, Millicent Martin, Mary Millar, Dave Willetts, Milo O'Shea, Rebecca Storm and Rosaleen Linehan.

Follies played at the National Concert Hall in Dublin.

It was directed by Michael Scott with musical direction by Madeleine Cartwright. Choreography was by Geri O'Kelly and David Bolger.
