Ilana Glazer is one of the sharpest comic voices to come out of American television in the past decade, and this July she brings her live stand-up to Vicar Street for one night. The show is part of her Ilana Glazer Live! tour, with material being filmed for an upcoming stand-up special - so the Dublin audience gets in early. If you know her from Broad City, the series she co-created with Abbi Jacobson, expect the same quick-witted, politically charged energy in full live form. If you don’t, this is a decent place to start.
Glazer has been doing stand-up for nearly two decades, and her material over the past few years has been consistently political without being lecture-y - she covers social issues, identity and everyday absurdity with a directness that lands. The Broad City years gave her a platform but her solo stand-up voice is its own thing.
Vicar Street holds around 1,050 for seated shows, which keeps things intimate by Dublin standards. The stage is low-barrier, performers and audience feel close, and the room has a warmth that suits comedy well. Open since 1998, it has a reputation as one of the better mid-sized rooms in Europe. Expect good sightlines and a lively Thursday night crowd.
Vicar Street is at 58-59 Thomas Street in Dublin 8, in the Liberties. From the city centre it is a comfortable walk - around 15 minutes from Dame Street. The nearest Luas stop is Four Courts on the Red Line, roughly a 10-minute walk from the venue. Dublin Bus routes 13, 40 and 123 all serve Thomas Street. Street parking in the Liberties is limited on a weekday evening, so public transport or a taxi to Thomas Street is the easier call. Plenty of taxis and rideshares pass through the area after shows.
Thomas Street sits in the Liberties, one of the oldest parts of the city, with the Guinness Storehouse a short walk away and Kilmainham a little further on. There is more to see in Dublin and across Co. Dublin.
