Paddy McDonnell: Paddy Power Full at St Comgall's Recreation Club, Larne

Irish stand-up comedian Paddy McDonnell brings his touring show Paddy Power Full to St Comgall’s Recreation Club in Larne on Friday 9 October 2026, giving Co. Antrim’s comedy calendar a date outside the usual run of Belfast city centre venues. McDonnell is a regular on the Irish live comedy circuit, working the same club and theatre network that runs across Ireland and into UK cities with large Irish diaspora audiences.

What to Expect

Expect a solo stand-up hour delivered in a conversational, story-led style typical of the touring Irish comedy circuit, mixing personal anecdote with broader observational material. As a smaller club-style venue rather than a theatre, the room is likely to be intimate, with the comedian working close to the crowd.

Recreation and community club venues like this one are a mainstay of the touring circuit outside the big city centres, and a Larne date gives Co. Antrim audiences a comedy night without having to travel into Belfast. These smaller-town shows tend to draw a strongly local crowd and often sell out on word of mouth rather than wide advertising, so it is worth checking availability well ahead of the date.
