PJ Gallagher plays Mermaid theatre

Comedian PJ Gallagher will perform at Mermaid Arts Centre on Saturday, October 7, at 8 p.m

One of Ireland’s most popular comedians, PJ Gallagher, is taking to the road with his brand new show, Dickhead.

A natural on stage, PJ’s previous tours, Concussion and Separated at Birth (with Joanne McNally), received critical acclaim and played to sell out audiences. The Dublin funny man is also a festival favourite and regularly plays sold-out shows at Kilkenny Cat Laughs, The Vodafone Comedy Carnival and the comedy stage at Electric Picnic.

Well known as the star of RTE’s Naked Camera, PJ’s various personas in the series included ladies man Jake Stevens, ‘Dirty Auld One’ and a brilliantly gormless taxi driver who thoroughly duped sports pundits George Hook and the late Bill O’Herlihy. PJ’s other TV shows include Meet your Neighbours, Next Week’s News and BBC’s The I Hate Show. He also participated in season 4 of Celebrity Bainisteoir, in which he managed St Patrick’s GAA Club Donabate,

Ryan Tubridy has described PJ as “an inspiration to aspiring Irish actors and comedians”. Tickets cost €20 and can be purchased online at www.mermaidartscentre.ie or call 01 2724030
