Aoife Dunne: Good Grief
At Hawk's Well Theatre · Temple Street, Sligo, Co. Sligo
At Hawk's Well Theatre · Temple Street, Sligo, Co. Sligo
Aoife Dunne brings her stand-up show Good Grief to Hawk’s Well Theatre on Thursday, 8 October 2026. The show was her acclaimed debut hour, which sold out venues through 2025, and this Sligo date is part of an extended 2026 run put on to meet continued demand. It plays as a single evening performance in the theatre’s main auditorium on Temple Street, with an 8pm start.
Good Grief is a personal, hour-long stand-up set that mixes difficult subject matter with sharp comic timing, the combination that built Dunne’s reputation through her debut run. It is being brought back for further dates specifically because earlier shows sold out, which points to strong word of mouth rather than a first-time outing. The date sits inside Hawk’s Well’s autumn 2026 comedy season, alongside Vittorio Angelone, Gearoid Farrelly, Rory’s Stories, Ardal O’Hanlon and David O’Doherty, all playing the same venue across September and October. Expect a full evening built around one headline set in the main house, with doors opening ahead of the 8pm start and the show running close to ninety minutes. Tickets are sold directly through the Hawk’s Well box office and website at €31.50 plus a standard booking fee.
Hawk’s Well Theatre is on Temple Street in Sligo town centre, within easy walking distance of Sligo’s bus and rail station on Lord Edward Street. Town centre car parks serve evening performances, and the box office can advise on accessible seating in advance of the show.
A Thursday evening show is an easy fit around dinner in Sligo town, with restaurants and bars within a few minutes’ walk of Temple Street. There is more to see in Sligo and across Co. Sligo.
