Gearoid Farrelly: No Pressure

At Hawk's Well Theatre · Temple Street, Sligo, Co. Sligo
Gearoid Farrelly plays Hawk’s Well Theatre on Saturday, 19 September 2026 with his hour-long stand-up show No Pressure. Farrelly is an established name on the Irish comedy circuit, a regular face on radio and television who reached a wider audience through his appearance on Dancing with the Stars. This show draws on that experience alongside his own health issues and the general absurdities of daily life, in a single evening date at the theatre’s main auditorium on Temple Street.
No Pressure is a full hour of stand-up built around Farrelly’s own recent experiences, told in the sharp, conversational style that has made him a regular support and headline act around Ireland. Reaction from fellow comedians and reviewers since the show began touring has been strong, and this Sligo date sits within Hawk’s Well’s autumn 2026 comedy run, which also includes Vittorio Angelone, Rory’s Stories, Aoife Dunne, Ardal O’Hanlon and David O’Doherty across September and October. As with the venue’s other comedy nights, expect a single headline set in the main house rather than a multi-act bill, with the show running to roughly ninety minutes once support and interval are included. Doors open ahead of the 8pm start, and tickets are sold directly through the Hawk’s Well box office at €25 plus a standard booking fee.
Hawk’s Well Theatre is on Temple Street in Sligo town centre, an easy walk from Sligo’s bus and rail station on Lord Edward Street. Public car parks around the town centre serve evening shows, and the box office can advise on accessible seating ahead of the performance.
A Saturday night comedy show is a good excuse to make an evening of Sligo town, with restaurants and bars within a few minutes’ walk of Temple Street and the Garavogue riverside close by. There is more to see in Sligo and across Co. Sligo.
