At Limelight · Belfast, Co. Antrim
Finlay Christie, the British-New Zealand comedian who built a large online following with sharp character-comedy sketches before moving into full touring stand-up, brings his show Champagne Casanova to Limelight in Belfast on Thursday 15 October 2026. Christie’s online work often skewers a very particular kind of posh, overconfident Englishman, and his live shows extend that character-driven satire into longer, more personal storytelling.
Expect a mix of character work and straight stand-up, built around class, dating and the awkward gap between how people present themselves online and how they actually behave, delivered with the same dry, deadpan style that built his social media audience. It runs as a solo hour rather than a mixed-bill night.
Comedians who cross over from short-form video into full touring shows often use the live hour to move beyond the single recurring character that made them famous online, and Christie’s billing suggests this show leans further into personal storytelling than his social clips typically do. Limelight’s mid-sized room is a common stop for comedians at this stage of building a live audience, sitting between small club nights and full theatre tours.
Limelight sits close to Belfast city centre, within easy walking distance of the Europa Bus Centre and Great Victoria Street train station, and on several Metro and Glider routes. City centre multi-storey car parks on Alfred Street and Clarence Street are the nearest options for drivers.
