Tadhg Hickey announces surprise Ulster Hall show
Tadhg Hickey is back on the road back to Belfast and this time to the glorious Ulster Hall stage on Thursday 21st September.
Tickets for the show are on sale now from ulsterhall.co.uk
In 2022 Tadhg toured a sold-out run of his critically acclaimed play, 'In One Eye, Out The Other', but he has rarely ventured into stand-up.
On this tour you will hear him ráiméis about dysfunctional families, fatherhood, colonialism and of course his raison d'être: trying to break up the United Kingdom through the unusual medium of comedy.
WARNING …for your anticipation pleasure: This show is likely to descend into a sing song! The show features live original music with Tadhg’s long-term collaborator, Sully. Expect viral singalong hits including, 'Are ye sorry for what ye did?'
On touring, Tadhg says: “Frankly, I was too scared. I’d be up in my head worrying about the audience, doing their thinking for them. I didn’t enjoy gigs. The best feeling, I could hope for was relief. But last year I did CBT and it’s been absolutely transformative. Now I’m like: Just get up and tell a few jokes bud, ‘it’s not that deep’, as my daughter says”. Peace and love, t
Tadhg's political comedy sketches, including 'Brexit; but it's a house share in Cork', have amassed millions of views online; the acclaim of his peers, kind words from media in many quarters and similarly so from academics worldwide.
For balance, we believe it only right to also share there has been a smattering (to be modest!) of troll commentary also, one such comment ironically provides the inspiration for the title of this September’s tour; The Marxist Terrorist-Supporting Scumbag TOUR! Indeed, for total transparency there has been a sprinkling of death threats too!
