At Limelight · Belfast, Co. Antrim
Georgie Carroll, who built a large online following as “Nurse Georgie” with sketches drawn from her years working as an NHS nurse, brings her stand-up hour Infectious to Limelight in Belfast on Thursday 24 September 2026. Carroll moved from short-form video into full stand-up touring, translating the ward-floor observations that made her sketches popular into a longer, more personal live show.
Expect material grounded in the reality of NHS shift work, hospital politics and the gap between the caring public image of nursing and its exhausting day-to-day reality, delivered with the same warm, blunt honesty that built her online audience. It plays as much to healthcare workers as to general comedy fans, though the material is written to land with anyone who has ever dealt with a chaotic workplace.
The show’s title, Infectious, leans into the medical framing that made Carroll’s online persona popular in the first place, and comedians who cross over from social video to full touring hours often use that first show to explain how the online character relates to the real person behind it. Belfast’s healthcare workforce is large enough that a midweek evening slot at Limelight is a sensible booking for a comedian whose fanbase skews toward people who recognise the shift-work grind first hand.
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.
