Gearoid Farrelly: No Pressure

Gearoid Farrelly plays the Seamus Ennis Arts Centre in the Naul on Friday 16 October 2026 with his stand-up show No Pressure. Farrelly, known to television audiences from Dancing with the Stars, built the hour around modern living, self-care and accepting his own flaws, following a period of personal health challenges. Reviewers have called it a consistent hour of stand-up from a performer well used to holding a room, and the show has been touring smaller Irish venues through the autumn rather than sticking to the bigger city rooms.

What to expect

An hour of stand-up pitched at an adult audience, mixing personal material with broader observations on daily life. The Seamus Ennis Arts Centre seats a small crowd, so the show plays close and conversational rather than as a big-room set, which suits Farrelly’s chatty style. Expect some audience interaction rather than a strictly scripted set, and a support act is likely though not always announced in advance.

Getting there

The Naul sits in north-west Fingal, close to the Meath border, and has no direct rail or Dublin Bus service. The venue is best reached by car, with parking available on site. Allow around 45 minutes from Dublin city centre, or 20 minutes from Balbriggan or Swords.

While you’re in The Naul

Beyond the arts centre, the Naul is a small village with one pub, Killian’s Bar, and open countryside in every direction. The arts centre itself is named for piper Seamus Ennis, who was born nearby, and its programme leans heavily into comedy, folk and traditional music through the autumn months.
