After social distancing for most of 2020 (and now 2021!), the Give My Head Peace gang are delighted to return to the stage with a brand new show in 2022.

Following their smash-hit, sold-out, riot-of-a-show in 2019, this one is sure to sell out faster than toilet rolls in 2020.

Featuring your favourite characters from the hit TV show, as well as the usual topical Northern Ireland humour, the show includes up-to-the-minute satirical stand-up from 'DA' aka Tim McGarry, plus, as expected, the odd song or two!

Give My Head Peace Live is a night of guaranteed laugh-out-loud comedy and a show definitely not to be missed!

Downtown's Neal McClelland caught up with the main man himself, Tim McGarry, before the team head off on their NI tour.

"We're delighted, it's been two years," Tim explains. "We literally finished our last tour in the middle of March 2020, we all remember what happened in March 2020. We had nine shows that were just cancelled overnight and we finished the tour in Armagh. And bizarrely we started in Armagh there last Thursday, literally two years to the day."

Believe it or not, the first episode of Give My Head Peace aired on January 16th 1998. 24 years later, the hit comedy show and live stage performances continue to make us all laugh.

"You know if we knew the formula beforehand, we'd be multi-millionaires," jokes Tim. "I think it's down to a couple of things. The characters are big and large and stupid, so kids like them.

"I think parents like it because you get a bit of politics, a comment about what's happening in the moment that day. Plus I think it's a show that's genuinely after big laughs, you can sit down with your mummy, your daddy, your granny...relax for half an hour and know that it's not going to be too blue or nasty, it's for everybody.
