Belfast comedian Paddy McDonnell plays The Glens Centre in Manorhamilton on Thursday, 10 September 2026, as part of his Paddy Power stand-up tour. McDonnell started out on the West Belfast comedy circuit in 2011 and was soon supporting established acts including Des Bishop and Ardal O’Hanlon, building a following across the UK and Ireland since. The 8pm show is an over-18s gig, priced at 20 euro, and had already reached capacity by the time this listing was written.
Paddy McDonnell is a West Belfast comedian who has been on the circuit since 2011, cutting his teeth supporting well-known names like Des Bishop and Ardal O’Hanlon early in his career before building his own headline sets. Paddy Power is his current stand-up show, and The Glens Centre’s small, intimate room in Manorhamilton suits his direct, conversational style of comedy well, with material drawn from Belfast life, touring stories and the usual observational territory of a working stand-up. It is an 18-plus show, running to a single set rather than a lineup of support acts, and starts at 8pm. Demand for the September date has already filled the room, which is typical for the venue’s comedy nights, so anyone hoping to attend should watch for a returns list or keep an eye out for McDonnell’s next Leitrim date.
The Glens Centre sits on The New Line in Manorhamilton, close to the town centre. Manorhamilton is on the N16/N15 junction, about 45 minutes from Sligo and half an hour from Carrick-on-Shannon by road. Parking is available on site, and the venue can be reached on foot from anywhere in the town.
Manorhamilton grew up around the Plantation-era castle ruin of Sir Frederick Hamilton, still standing in the town centre and free to walk around. The town is the gateway to the glens of north Leitrim and to Glencar Waterfall, just over the Sligo border. There is more to see in Manorhamilton and across Co. Leitrim.
