Deirdre O'Kane at Hotel Kilmore, Cavan

One of Ireland’s best-known comedians, Deirdre O’Kane, plays Hotel Kilmore on Dublin Road, Cavan, on Saturday 14 November 2026. The hotel’s live shows listing promises “a night of sharp wit and brilliant comedy”, and it is one of two named comedy dates the hotel has on its autumn 2026 schedule, sitting a few weeks after Chris Kent’s October date in the same room.

What to expect

Deirdre O’Kane has been a fixture of Irish stand-up and broadcasting for decades, known for stage shows, television presenting and film and stage acting alongside her comedy career. A headline date like this at Hotel Kilmore is a rare chance to see a comedian of her profile in a regional Cavan venue rather than a Dublin theatre. The show is listed as a standalone comedy night rather than part of a themed club format, so expect a full solo set in the hotel’s function room, run theatre-style with seating rather than a pub or club crowd. No support act or MC is listed alongside her on the hotel’s page.

Getting there

Hotel Kilmore is on the Dublin Road on the edge of Cavan town, about five minutes from the town centre and clearly signposted from the main Cavan to Dublin road, with its own car park on site. Cavan town has Bus Éireann coach services from Dublin Busáras, a journey of roughly two hours, with a short taxi or walk on to the hotel from the town centre.

While you’re in Cavan

Cavan town’s Main Street and Farnham Street have a good range of restaurants and pubs for dinner before the show, both a short drive from the hotel. Mid-November is a quieter time in the county’s calendar, so it is a good weekend to combine the show with a look around the town or a walk on one of the county’s lakeshore trails. There is more to see in Cavan and across Co. Cavan.
