Maisie Adam: Whatsherface at Limelight Belfast

Maisie Adam brings her stand-up show Whatsherface to Limelight in Belfast on Thursday 17 September 2026. Adam is a familiar face from UK panel shows, a regular team captain on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and a repeat guest on Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo, and she has built a solid touring circuit reputation on top of that TV profile with self-deprecating, sharply observed material about the gap between how she comes across and how she actually feels.

What to Expect

Expect an hour of storytelling-driven stand-up rather than one-liners, built around the awkward, ordinary moments of adult life delivered with Adam’s dry, unbothered delivery. This is a solo touring hour rather than a mixed-bill night, so the whole evening is given over to her material.

Limelight is best known in Belfast as a live music venue, home to gigs and club nights across its main room and adjoining bar, so a comedy booking here tends to mean a full room set up for a proper touring show rather than a small club night. Adam has built a reputation for taking her Countdown-honed quick thinking and applying it to crowd banter, so support acts or an opening warm-up should not be assumed away as a formality here.
