Here is the dilemma:

Your bank mistakingly grants you $95,000.

The money becomes legally yours through several loopholes.

The bank begins to harass you incessantly.

You are in $45,000 in credit card debt.

Do you give the money back?

You can find out what Patrick Combs did when he found himself in this very situation at his one-man comedy show, running in the Backstage Theatre, Longford on June 17

'Man 1, Bank 0' is the amazing real-life story of how Combs deposits a $95,000 junk-mail cheque into his own bank account and about what happens after his bank cashes it. What follows is a staggering David V’s Goliath stand-off that has had revved up audiences across the globe.

Described by BroadwayWorld.com as "One of the funniest, most fascinating and fastest moving solo plays to hit New York in many a season. Ninety minutes of nonstop laughter, it's also an edge-of your seat adventure loaded with unbelievable real-life surprises”
