Tommy Tiernan: World Tour of Leitrim at The Dock

Tommy Tiernan plays The Dock in Carrick-on-Shannon on Thursday, 15 October 2026, one of two County Leitrim dates as he opens a new run of county-by-county stand-up tours.

What to Expect

Tommy Tiernan’s World Tour of Leitrim is the Leitrim leg of a wider project that sees the comedian working his way through Irish counties one at a time, playing everything from arts centres to pubs, hotel function rooms and town halls rather than sticking to the usual theatre circuit. The Leitrim dates follow stops in Westmeath, with further county tours announced for Limerick, Mayo and Galway running through Christmas and beyond. At The Dock, the 8pm show runs with an interval, and it is a phone-free room, audiences hand over phones at the door to be sealed in Yondr pouches for the length of the performance, so the material stays between the comedian and the room rather than ending up online. Press response to the tour has been strong, with The Times calling the show “exquisite” and the Irish Examiner praising its “wild yarns philosophical detours.” The Dock itself is a converted early nineteenth-century courthouse on the banks of the Shannon, now Leitrim’s flagship arts venue, and its intimate main space suits Tiernan’s conversational, largely unscripted style well. Demand in Carrick-on-Shannon matched that response, the October date sold out its full run of tickets well ahead of the night, so this listing is for reference rather than booking.
