Conor Moore - Me, Myself and Them
At Dean Crowe Theatre · Chapel Street, Athlone, Co. Westmeath
At Dean Crowe Theatre · Chapel Street, Athlone, Co. Westmeath
Conor Moore is one of the sharpest impressionists working in Ireland today, and his live show proves why the demand for tickets consistently outpaces supply. This three-night run at the Dean Crowe Theatre in Athlone is the result of exactly that - extra dates added after earlier shows on the tour sold out. If you enjoy comedy that actually knows its subject matter, this is the kind of night that repays the ticket price several times over.
The show is built around Moore’s uncanny ability to inhabit the voices and mannerisms of people the audience genuinely knows. His targets range across GAA royalty - Ger Loughnane, Joe Brolly, Keane - through to political figures including Mary Lou McDonald, Micheal Martin, and Tommy Tiernan, with Trump making an appearance somewhere in the mix too. The new GAA rules get a proper going-over, as does the general chaos of Irish public life. It is not a clip show; Moore constructs routines around his impressions rather than just stringing them together, which is what separates a good night from a great one. The Dean Crowe is an intimate 466-seat venue, which means you are close enough to the stage to read the room properly - a lot of the joy in this kind of comedy is shared recognition, and that lands better at this scale than in an arena.
Doors open an hour before the 8pm start. The theatre bar is open, and you can pre-order your interval drinks in advance so you are not queuing when the lights go up for the second half.
Athlone sits at the geographic centre of Ireland, straddling the Shannon on the N6 motorway corridor between Dublin and Galway. From Dublin it is around 90 minutes by car and roughly the same on the Westport or Galway Expressway buses from Busaras, with regular Irish Rail services from Heuston to Athlone station, which is a short walk from the town centre. From Galway, the journey is about an hour by road or rail.
The Dean Crowe Theatre is on Chapel Street on the left bank of the Shannon - a straightforward walk from the main street. For parking, the venue itself has no dedicated car park, but Connaught Street, Pearse Court, and O’Connell Street car parks are all within a five-minute walk.
Athlone Castle sits right on the Shannon and is worth an hour of anyone’s time before a show; the old town on the left bank has good pubs and places to eat within easy reach of the theatre. There is more to see in Athlone and across Co. Westmeath.
