Wonderful months ahead at The Everyman

The Everyman has just unveiled a spectacular, star-studded programme for the coming months which is sure to put smiles on Leeside faces as winter gives way to spring.

Imelda May, Frankie Boyle, Ricky Tomlinson, Dan Butler (aka Bulldog from hit TV show 'Frasier') and local legends Karen Underwood, Chris Kent, and Tadhg Hickey are just some of the stars that will grace the famous stage in the near future.

One of the big highlights of the programme, ‘Mother of All the Behans’ starring Imelda May, offers unmissable entertainment. Having debuted in Dublin last summer with sold-out performances and an extended run due to phenomenal demand, the show will come to The Everyman for a limited run this summer.

The theatre’s own production this spring will be ‘GATMAN!’, a new play written by and starring Tadhg Hickey and directed by Sophie Motley. Premiering at The Everyman, ‘GATMAN!’ is a darkly-comic one-man play exploring the metamorphic effect of alcohol with a superhero twist.

‘Tuesdays with Morrie’, based on the hugely popular book of the same name by Mitch Albom and starring Dan Butler who is best known for playing Bulldog in 'Frasier', will appeal to theatre and book lovers alike, while light relief will be on offer from Ricky Tomlinson of ‘The Royle Family’ fame who performs in ‘Irish Annie’s’, a musical play celebrating Irish culture.

Meanwhile, tickets are selling fast for Druid Theatre’s five-star production of Seán O’Casey’s classic ‘The Shadow of a Gunman’.

Music aficionados will delight at ‘Music Of…’, a new genre-defying concert series curated by John O’Brien and led by the recently formed Ora Quartet. It begins in February with ‘Music of… Sadness and Comfort’, which will welcome guest performers mezzo-soprano Niamh O’Sullivan and spellbinding flute and fiddle player Johnny McCarthy.

Stand-up comedy is on offer from David O’Doherty, Jarlath Regan, Frankie Boyle, Emma Doran, Shane Daniel Byrne, Rachel Parris, Deirdre O’Kane, and more. Due to huge demand, Cork comedian Chris Kent has added a sixth date at the venue for his Back at It tour. Reggie for President will see Reggie from the Blackrock Road return to the theatre with his brand-new stand-up show.

‘Faulty Towers: The Dining Experience’ will also return, offering guests an immersive experience at the Metropole Hotel with tickets available via The Everyman.

Commenting on the programme, Executive Director and CEO of The Everyman, Sean Kelly, said: “It’s a new year and we can’t wait to welcome our audiences to The Everyman in 2024. We have a jam-packed programme of fabulous events to share featuring some of the finest local, national, and international performers. No matter what your tastes, there’s a seat waiting for you, so come on in!”
