Sinderella: Adults Only Panto
At Esker Arts · High Street, Tullamore, Co. Offaly
At Esker Arts · High Street, Tullamore, Co. Offaly
Sinderella turns the traditional Christmas pantomime format on its head for a strictly-over-18s comedy night at Esker Arts in Tullamore on Saturday, 25 July 2026. The show takes the familiar panto structure of a fairytale, audience call-and-response and larger-than-life characters, and rewrites it with adult humour and innuendo that would never make it into a family show. It starts at 8pm and runs as a standalone comedy night rather than part of a festive season.
Expect the mechanics of a traditional panto, a fairytale plot, a dame, songs and audience participation, but with material pitched squarely at an adult crowd rather than children. The show has built a following on its reviews, with past audiences describing it as leaving them with sore jaws from laughing and calling it one of the funniest pantos they have seen. It plays as a one-night stand at Esker Arts rather than a run, so it suits a night out with friends rather than a family outing. Given the subject matter, it is strictly for over-18s only, and the venue enforces that restriction on the door.
Esker Arts is on High Street in Tullamore town centre, within walking distance of the town’s bars and restaurants for a night out before or after the show. Tullamore is on the main Dublin to Galway rail line and is served by regular Bus Éireann routes, making it an easy trip from around the Midlands.
Sinderella pairs naturally with a few drinks beforehand in Tullamore town centre, which is compact enough to walk between the theatre, restaurants and bars. There is more to explore across Co. Offaly.
