Upcoming Events

David McSavage - 6th April, 2024


“If that a makes sense” Common Phrase


When you say something but you aren't sure if you explained it well and the other person understood it.

David McSavage is stand-up comedy's answer to spontaneous human combustion, an explosive and always surprising phenomenon that simply cannot be contained in a box or transposed to TV.

His new show is a unique blend of energy, improvisation, and leaps of imagination that take his audience on a joyride they'll never forget. Even David has no idea what might happen when he unleashes his crazy brand of improvised comedy mayhem. He possesses the rare gift of creating a space where audiences feel like they are kids again, all taking part in a practical joke.

‘Viciously self-deprecating, and employs the trick of using a persona to articulate some of his more risqué and quite frankly unrepeatable material.

McSavage's low-key but effective stage manner, gently strumming a guitar as he departs on numerous flights of whimsy, works brilliantly. His laid-back and laconic style provides a nice contrast to the screaming egomaniacs one often encounters at stand-up shows. McSavage has unexpectedly come out of the cold of perpetually being an outsider, and has somehow graduated into Irish comedy's small elite.’ Eamonn Sweeney - Irish Independent

Created and performed by the renowned Dublin singer and multi-instrumentalist Chris Kavanagh, this show brings the audience on a journey through Luke’s music and has received rave reviews in Ireland and abroad.

An overwhelming endorsement of authenticity are the huge amount of followers and regular sell-out performances in Ireland’s most prestigious venues such as Vicar Street,the Grand Opera House and the Cork Opera House.

In 2011 Chris was asked by John Sheahan to perform with The Dubliners on their German tour and Luke’s family are still in regular attendance at his concerts.

Mary Coughlan - May 3rd, 2024


Mary Coughlan is one of Ireland’s greatest soulful jazz and blues singers, a true artist who has crafted a timeless and highly regarded, versatile career with devoted fans worldwide.

2024 will see Mary celebrate an impressive 40 years in the music industry, a landmark achievement.

Mary has lived through childhood trauma, alcoholism and drug addiction to become a musical force like no other; redeemed and transformed through the creative power of music. She embraces each song with empathy, courage interspersed with humour, emotions that reach way beyond the stage connecting with each and everyone in the audience.

She has created a play with a unique, hauntingly beautiful, award-nominated soundscape, WOMAN UNDONE, in collaboration with The Brokentalkers and Valgeir Sigurðsson revisiting the archetypal themes of her songs about love and loss, trauma and womanhood.

Her debut album Tired and Emotional rocketed her to overnight fame in 1985 and 15 albums later she is writing songs for another and continues to mesmerize live audiences in sold out houses throughout Europe, UK, Australia and New Zealand with her versatile velvet voice.

“Mary’s live performances have to be seen to be believed.” NME

“While the comparisons have run the gamut from Holiday to Mathilde Santing to Janis Joplin, one thing is certain that Mary’s voice is her own.” THE OBSERVER (UK)


“Mary Coughlan is still casting her earthy, Irish spells, as she has been doing for 35 years. The chief ingredient in her incantations is hardly unique: emotional truth should be a basic building-block of all singing and all art. Setting Coughlan's espousal of this candour apart are the other spells with which she adulterates it and intensifies it.” SYDNEY MORNING HERALD (AUSTRALIA)


Tickets are priced at €30 and available from Saint George's Office, The Favourite, Spar and 2Shoes and on the following link:

Reggie For President - 27th September 2024

Reggie from the Blackrock Road is the richest man in Cork by a huge margin.

He is the outgoing President of COCI (The Captains of Cork Industry), elite guys

dedicated to maintaining the highest standards on Leeside while paying zero tax and

cheating on their wives.

Broadcasting from his 6.8 million euro mansion on the Blackrock Road, he has over

80,000 followers on social media attracted by his videos mocking Liz Truss, northsiders,

Kerry people and Kanturk. Reggie has also played to sell-out audiences with two shows in

The Everyman Theatre.

After years of tyranny under Michael D. Higgins (who is from Limerick – he keeps that

quiet) Reggie has decided to run for Uachtarán na hÉireann, which means President of

Ireland in case you only did pass Irish for the Inter Cert.

In the run up to the election in 2025, Reggie is travelling to every nook and cranny in

Ireland. His tour will take him to the northside of Cork, minor cities such as Dublin and

Waterford, along with sad small towns which have been by-passed by progress and

advances in personal hygiene.

Join him as he reaches out to the ordinary people of Ireland without touching them, unless

they are gorgeous.

You don’t want to miss it.

Tickets are €25 and available on the following link and from Saint George's Office, Spar, 2Shoes and the Favourite.

Remembering Ronnie with Phelim Drew - 8th November 2024


Ronnie was born in the the village of Glasthule on the southside of Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin. Living in the rented room of a ‘two up, two down’ the family eventually qualified for a council house in Monkstown Farm, also in the ‘the borough’.

His father was a carpenter and his mother a seamstress and before long the family expanded and started to out grow this small but comfortable house. The young Ronnie, being the eldest, was sent to live with his maternal grandparents on the upmarket Tivoli Terrace. His grandparents approach to guardianship was from a bygone era and he longed to be back in the family home. His father, Paddy begged his wife to bring their son home but by now ‘the granny’ had got used to the boy being in the house and Ronnie’s mother, Peg, didn’t want to upset her mother.

Phelim always felt that this separateness was what ultimately led him to carve out his own path in life and take risks that few others were taking at the time.

Ronnie would go on to be a founding member of The Dubliners, leaders in a folk revival that would bring them to massive audiences world wide.

Growing up, Phelim was always struck by the electricity generated at a Dubliners concert. Looking back he can see clearly that the group was exceptional not only because of the individual strength of the performers but that combined they were a force of nature. That energy and excitement coupled with the unbridled joy of a Dubliners audience made for a nights entertainment that felt more like a party in full swing where the hosts and guests were in perfect harmony.

Phelim's ambitions as a singer have always been modest as a result!

Having spent his life so far working in the theatre, music has always played a big part in his tool box as an actor, in shows like The Abbey Theatre production of The Risen People or Landmark/ Olympia Theatre production of Once, A New Musical. Over the years he also always enjoyed the experience of playing small venues with friends.

In the years since his father passed away, he has come to enjoy listening back over his musical legacy and the wealth of material has reawakened not only a sense of pride but also deep appreciation of not just the recordings but the songs that influenced them and how they in turn have influenced others.

In this show join Phelim as he tells a few yarns and sings some of the songs made famous by Ronnie, Luke, Barney, Ciaran and John. The night is made up of a mixture of folk and other forms of musical that helped to make Ronnie and the lads so unique and the hope is to take the audience on a journey that they will enjoy in sharing these experiences in songs and stories.

Tickets are €25 and available from the following link and local outlets Saint George's Office, 2Shoes, The Favourite and Spar.
