Ricky Gervais
3Arena / June 24th

Jon Richardson

The British Comedy Award nominee and star of Live At The Apollo and 8 Out Of 10 Cats Jon Richardson is embarking on a tour to complain about the state of the world and offer no solutions. Since his last show he has become a husband and father, seen the UK vote to leave the EU and watched the rise of Donald Trump, all of which leaves him asking one question, why does it seem that no one else alive can correctly load a dishwasher?
Joel Dommett

May 23rd (Olympia) & September (Cork / Limerick / Galway / Belfast)
