Ro Boyle: Showed Up

Comedian Ro Boyle plays the Squealing Pig in Monaghan town on Friday, 30 October 2026, with his stand-up tour Showed Up, running from 7pm to 10pm. It is a Squealing Pig Comedy Club date on Boyle’s wider tour, with support on the night from an act billed as Ireland’s Only Catholic Orangeman.

What to expect

Boyle tours regularly around Ireland and Northern Ireland with his own headline stand-up shows, and Showed Up follows the same format as his other tour dates: a full-length solo set with a support act to open the night. The Squealing Pig Comedy Club has built a track record of bringing touring stand-up acts through Monaghan on Friday nights, alongside its own in-house headline nights with rotating comedians, and this date fits that same pattern of a single visiting headliner playing the bar’s function room. The listing promises what it calls an epic night, which for a Boyle show typically means a mix of personal stories and observational material delivered at pace, rather than a slower character-comedy set. The 7pm start is earlier than some of the venue’s other comedy nights, which tend to run from 9pm, so it is worth checking the time carefully when booking.

Getting there

The Squealing Pig is on the Diamond in the centre of Monaghan town, an easy walk from anywhere in the town centre and close to the main bus stops.

While you’re in Monaghan

Monaghan town’s Diamond is the natural base for a night out around a Squealing Pig gig, with several other bars and restaurants within a couple of minutes’ walk. There is more to see in Monaghan and across Co. Monaghan.
