Jarlath Regan – Life is a Work In Progress

Long before he became Ireland’s favourite Irishman Abroad, Jarlath Regan was known to Balor Arts Centre audiences as the hilarious MC of their monthly Balor Comedy Club. Today, he is one of the biggest names on the Irish comedy circuit, with a growing reputation internationally thanks to his enormously popular Irishman Abroad podcast, a string of high profile television appearances and sellout tours across Ireland, the UK and most recently, the East Coast of America.

Jarlath’s Yer Man show sold out three nights in Dublin’s Olympia Theatre earlier this year and his compilation show, Jarlath Regan in Bits, has already sold out its forthcoming run there in January 2025.

With Life is A Work In Progress, Jarlath is looking forward to sharing his brand new collection of jokes, stories and hilarious tales with a Donegal audience. In a world full of overwhelming bleakness and unrelenting negative news, it makes sense to take a break and make space for laughter by coming to see the man The Examiner calls ‘the jewel in Ireland’s comedy crown.’

“Side-splitting stuff. Causes hysteria in the room.” – Metro.

“A master at work.” – Patrick Kielty, The Late Late Show, RTÉ 1.

“The man radiates warmth while projecting deliciously dark greeting cards, which are thoroughly recommended for Christmas or hostage situations.”
