At Gleneagle Arena · Muckross Road, Killarney, Co. Kerry
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
David O’Doherty brings his new stand-up show Highway to the David Zone to Gleneagle Arena in Killarney on Saturday, 28 November 2026. O’Doherty is an Eddie Award winning Irish comedian best known for absurdist, keyboard-backed stand-up, and this Killarney date sits on a wider Irish and international tour of the new hour.
Expect O’Doherty’s familiar mix of deadpan storytelling, gentle silliness and songs played on his battered childhood keyboard, a format he has built a long career on since first touring solo shows in the 2000s. The material tends toward the personal and the mundane turned strange rather than topical satire, and the tone stays warm and self-deprecating throughout. The show runs at Gleneagle Arena, the large venue attached to the Gleneagle Hotel on Muckross Road, which hosts touring comedy and concerts alongside the hotel’s own entertainment programme through the year. This is a seated theatre-style comedy show built around one headline act rather than a multi-comedian bill. Killarney is the tour’s only Kerry date: the rest of the Irish run takes in the Barbican Theatre in Drogheda on 14 November, the Abbey Tavern in Dublin on 5 and 6 December, and Dolans Warehouse in Limerick on 7 and 8 January 2027, with a Glasgow date at the O2 Academy in between.
Gleneagle Arena is on Muckross Road (the N71), less than a kilometre south of Killarney town centre, beside the Gleneagle and Brehon hotels. Killarney’s rail and bus station has direct services from Cork, Dublin Heuston and Tralee, and the arena is a short taxi ride or a 15-minute walk from the station. Free onsite parking is available.
A late November night at the arena pairs well with an early dinner in town, with Killarney’s restaurants and pubs a short walk away. There is more to see in Killarney and across Co. Kerry.
