Broadcaster and comedian Barbara Scully plays Dungarvan Town Hall Theatre on Friday, 4 September 2026, with doors at 7:30pm and the show starting at 8pm. Because I’m Worth It is a one-woman blend of stand-up and personal storytelling, the follow-up to her earlier touring show Older Bolder Wiser, and it is being sold direct through Scully’s own Eventbrite listing rather than through a promoter.
Scully is best known to Irish audiences as a co-host of Newstalk’s So You Think You’re An Adult segment on the Moncrieff Show, and this show draws on that same wry, grounded voice. It is built around her experience of turning sixty and choosing, as the title suggests, to put herself first for once after decades of putting everyone else first, covering ageing, self-worth and the shift in outlook that comes with it. The tone leans more toward warm, personal storytelling than rapid-fire jokes, closer to a night of stand-up comedy with a strong narrative thread than a straight gag set. The show is billed at around two hours and is aimed primarily at a female audience, though Scully’s material has reportedly gone down just as well with men in the room. The venue flags the show as suitable for ages 16 and up. Touring dates on this run have varied in price from venue to venue, so anyone booking should check the current price on the Eventbrite listing before travelling.
Dungarvan Town Hall Theatre is on St Augustine Street in Dungarvan town centre, an easy walk from the Square and the seafront. On-street parking and nearby car parks serve the town centre.
Dungarvan’s harbour and Georgian streets are a short stroll from the theatre, with the Old Market House Arts Centre and the town’s restaurants nearby. There is more to see in Dungarvan and across Co. Waterford.
