At Market Place Theatre and Arts Centre · Market Street, Armagh, Co. Armagh BT61 7BW
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
Comedian, presenter and science communicator Emer Maguire brings her stand-up show Perfectly Chaotic to the Market Place Theatre on Friday 6 November 2026. Maguire is a double Irish Radio Award-winning BBC presenter known for fast-talking, high-energy storytelling, and Perfectly Chaotic is built around the everyday disasters and mishaps of her own life, told with the pace and detail of someone used to thinking on her feet on live radio.
She has an international reputation as an award-winning science communicator alongside her stand-up work, and that background shows up in a comic style that favours sharp, fast-thinking observation and quick recovery over slow-building set pieces, closer to a live radio monologue than a scripted hour. The Armagh date sits within a wider run of theatre and arts centre dates across Ireland and the UK through late 2026.
The Market Place is Armagh’s main theatre and arts centre, and it carries the comedy strand of a programme that runs to well over eighty listed shows between August 2026 and July 2027, covering theatre, music and children’s performances alongside stand-up. Tickets for all of them are sold through the venue’s own box office system rather than a third-party agent, and neither the start time nor the ticket price for this date had been published on the venue listing at the time of writing, so both are worth confirming at the point of booking rather than assumed from the usual evening slot.
The Market Place Theatre is on Market Street in Armagh city centre. From Belfast, the M1 and A3 via Portadown take around an hour; from Dublin, the A1/N1 through Newry is the direct route. Translink Goldline and Ulsterbus services run into Armagh bus station on Lonsdale Road, a short walk from the theatre, with public parking nearby including the Market Street car park.
