IRISH TOUR DIARY 🍀
Dublin date goes on sale tomorrow
Good afternoon,
I am currently in Ireland and I am having the time of my life. I posted a tweet about it and the Dunboyne popstar CMAT liked it, and now it is possible that I die with a smile on my face. Me and Frankie and Barbara were in Cork on Monday, then Waterford on Tuesday, then Limerick last night. Tonight we’re in Galway, then we’re doing a night at the 3Olympia in Dublin, then a night off where we’re going to see a band play, then we’re back in Dublin, and then we’re in Drogheda.
This is truly one of the best countries in the world. There is a pork sausage available at breakfast called The Dublin Gold Medal Sausage, and I’ve had a minimum of two every morning. My friend Ben Pope said on Instagram that it looks like the type of sausage that you’d get in a cartoon. He’s not wrong. It tastes like it too.
In Limerick we went to a fried chicken restaurant called Chicken Hut. The gravy here is supposed to be the exact analogue of the original Kentucky Fried Chicken gravy recipe, from before KFC became a corporate entity and corners were cut in the name of profit. It was bafflingly delicious. It was a herby peppercorn gloop, that only grew more delicious as its temperature sank and its gelatinosity increased. A life-changing experience.
Anyway, I’ll be coming back to Ireland in the autumn to do a Dublin date of my stand-up show as part of the SCARY TIMES ‘24 TOUR on the 2nd of October, and I’m extremely excited. Tickets go on sale FRIDAY 19th APRIL, a.k.a. the morning after I type and send this to you. There’ll be a link up on my Linktree to get tickets as soon as I find one.

The English leg of my tour starts in two weeks! I’m going to Newcastle, London, Birmingham, and Manchester, and I am very buzzing for that. Somebody has told me via social media that my Birmingham date coincides with the night that Aston Villa are in the finals of a major football tournament. Nice one, Christopher! Sadly, my tour (and also my life) are coinciding with a major recession and downturn in quality of life, so I’m used to disappointment and sadness. Scary times!
To the legends of Ireland, feel free to come and see it. To everybody else, please visit Ireland, and have a drink called a Club Lemon, and a packet of crisps called Tayto Meanies, that are like if Space Raiders and Monster Munch had a horrible tasty baby.
