Extra Gas Man Shows For 2026 – Dublin – Cork – Galway
We are adding a matinee show for Dublin on January 24th 2026. Matinee shows are always the best. I’m so happy the 3Olympia has made space for us to do this. All the other dates there are now completely sold out! As if that isn’t enough, the dates in Cork and Galway are not completely sold out too! So we have added an extra night in Leisureland Galway and the Cork Opera House.
They have given me an exclusive artist’s pre-sale link for each show. So if you missed out on Dublin, Cork or Galway the first time I posted them, now is your chance to get them. You can either click on the words here or go to the gigs page to find them. The pre-sale begins today at 10am and the general sale starts Friday Sept 12th at 10am.

Another 3Olympia Date Added!
All three dates for Gas Man (Jar’s new standup show for 2026) have sold out in record time so we are adding one more. Friday January 23rd is going on general sale this Friday at 10am from Ticketmaster.ie. Jarlath has again requested a special pre-sale link so you guys can get early access to the best seats. Here it is! The pre-sale will be short and it begins today at 10am so jump on it.
Pre-Order Jarlath’s Brand New Book – The Gobshite Guidebook – Now!
I’ve written my new book “The Gosbhite Guide Book”. It will hit the shelves of all the best bookshops in the autumn but you can pre-order your copy now from Amazon, Easons, Dubray, Bookstation , Books.ie and my favorite book store Kenny’s. Trust me this is a book you’re going to need in your life if you hope to survive the next few years of craziness. We are living in a golden age for gobshites. Miraculously, in spite of how thick they are, the gobshites have risen to power and assumed control of a lot of our favourite stuff. We need a survival guide to help us spot them, avoid them and correctly identify them in our families and places of work. That’s why I’ve written this yoke. It’s full of vital tips, tricks and in-depth analysis of the gobshites who walk among us. This book might save your sanity. It might help you avoid a doomed relationship. It might just make you laugh out loud. Pre-order it today to be sure you get your Gobshite Guidebook before anyone else or send to a gobshite you love so that they might see the error of their ways.
Brand New Show Coming To Your City In 2026
I’m so proud to announce that I have a brand new standup show called Gas Man and I’m taking it all around the world in 2024. This will easily be the biggest thing I’ve ever done and the longest tour I ever dreamed of doing. It’s a totally new show. So it features brand new material never before seen anywhere. Not on any of the social media platforms or in any of the tours I’ve done. We are literally taking this thing EVERYWHERE. To start with we are releasing the first leg of tickets this Friday. So don’t get mad if your city isn’t in the poster below. There are heaps more dates coming. Email me if you have a city or venue you think would be perfect. We are still booking it up as I type this. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. It’s real pinch yourself stuff. To say a special thank you to all the Irish based legends who made this possible I’ve arranged an artist pre-sale for Dublin 3Olympia, Leisureland Galway and Cork Opera House. You can find them all here. Everything else will go on sale this Friday at 10am from this site or Ticketmaster.

Brand New Show Coming Soon!
Delighted to say I have started working on the next tour show. During the autumn I’ll be heading to my favourite rooms around Ireland to try out the new stuff and piece it all together. These shows are called “Under Construction” but in reality by the time we get this thing into these rooms, it should be nice, tight and a lot of craic. That being said, these shows are way more playful and fun. Last year these shows were what made the current tour show so special. There’s about 20 of them this time around and tickets are very limited. I’ve put all the ticket links up here for you guys in the gigs page. I should also mention that these show will have a brilliant opening act. I can’t say who that will be but rest assured they will be great. Book yourself in and I’ll see you there.
So the way this works is, I head off and write the show in Kerry during July and August. Before I head off for that writing break there are a few very big “In Bits” shows. Outside of these shows I won’t be doing much live stuff until September. June 14th is the biggest one. I’ll be filming my new standup special that night. If you haven’t booked yet, that’s going to be fun one to go to. See you soon legends.
World Tour Extended – Australia, New Zealand, Chicago & Cork!

It’s really happening! These are final final dates we are adding to this tour. Once these ones are done that’s it for In Bits! I can’t believe we managed it but the Oz and NZ dates are all here now. I’m so flipping delighted with this show. Grab a ticket and I’ll see you there.
Extra Early Show Added At Dublin’s 3Olympia
Can’t believe this is happening but we are adding an early show to the sold out run at 3Olympia. The whole run is basically sold out apart from a few seats up in the highest level on the Wednesday. So we are adding this very special early one on the Saturday. I have arranged a cheeky little early access link for you here. Grab a seat here before the general sale starts this Friday Nov 29th!
If you’re not in Dublin we have added dates all over the shop. Heaps of them are either sold out or about to sell out. So make sure you grab your tickets when you get a chance. I can’t wait to take this thing out for a proper spin. It’s such a fun show designed to make you laugh like a drain and forget everything.
LA won’t go on sale until after Thanksgiving and we are hoping to add Australia dates really really soon. Thanks to everyone who has been coming to the work in progress shows.

New Tour Dates…Lots Of UK Dates In May!
Last Friday we added one night in Leicester Square Theatre and it basically sold out in 48 hours! Honestly, the plan was just to do one U.K. show and leave at that. You guys got in touch to say this was a mistake so I listened. We are now adding an extra London date and a whole raft of extra shows around the U.K. including Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff and Glasgow. Glasgow is the only one that won’t go on sale tomorrow. All the others will go up on here tomorrow at 10am.
We are also adding a big show in Limerick city. I flipping love Limerick. And while I can’t wait for all the shows on this tour, Limerick concert hall is going to be extra special.
