At Ramor Arts Centre · Main Street, Virginia, Co. Cavan
Conal Gallen brings his long-running brand of stand-up and character comedy to Ramor Arts Centre in Virginia on Friday 25 September 2026 with How’s Your Father?. Gallen has been a fixture of Irish comedy for decades, known for character-driven material and a stage persona built on rural Irish life, and a night at Ramor gives Cavan audiences a chance to see a well-established name without the trip to Dublin or Belfast. The show runs from 8:00pm.
How’s Your Father? follows the format Gallen has built his career on: observational stand-up mixed with character comedy rooted in small-town and rural Irish life, delivered with the timing of a comedian who has been working rooms for decades. Ramor Arts Centre is a compact, purpose-built venue on Virginia’s Main Street with proper theatre seating, lighting and sound, so even a broad comedy show like this one plays well in an intimate setting rather than a barn-sized room. The venue’s autumn 2026 programme mixes comedy with music and drama - Sinead Culbert and The Mariettas both play Ramor in the same September - so this is one of several nights worth checking if you are making comedy at Ramor a regular outing.
