Comedian Gearoid Farrelly, known to Northern Irish audiences from his appearance on Dancing with the Stars as well as his stand-up work, brings his newest special No Pressure to The Court House in Bangor on Saturday 7 November 2026. The show, written after a run of hospital stays and a sick pet, looks at modern life’s chaos through what the venue’s listing calls “the absurdities of life, the challenges of self-care, and the joy of embracing imperfection.” Fellow comedians are quoted backing the show, with Joanne McNally calling Farrelly “my absolute favourite” and Sarah Millican describing his live performance as “bloody hilarious.” The night is theatre-seated in the Court House’s Court Room and restricted to over-18s.
The Court House sits on Bangor’s seafront at Quay Street, a short walk from Bangor railway station on the Belfast to Bangor Translink line. The building is a restored Victorian listed courthouse run as a non-profit arts venue by the charity behind Bangor’s Open House Festival, with pay-and-display parking available along the nearby harbour front and in the town centre.
November puts this show towards the end of the Court House’s autumn comedy run, alongside music and theatre dates programmed for the same weeks. Bangor’s seafront, marina and town centre bars are all within a short walk of the venue for anyone combining the show with an evening out. There is more to see and do in Bangor and across Co. Down.
