John Colleary - The Quack

John Colleary brings his stand-up show to the Spirit Store on Saturday, 7 November 2026. Doors open at 7:30pm on Georges Quay in Dundalk, Co. Louth.

What to expect

Colleary is a comedian and writer who co-wrote the IFTA-nominated The Savage Eye and Irish Pictorial Weekly, and has appeared on Hardy Bucks and The Tommy Tiernan Show. His solo tours, including Loud And Colleary (2023), Head Like A Shed (2024) and Wildlife (2025), have toured successfully around Ireland. Fellow comedian Tommy Tiernan has called him “playful, inventive and brilliant”, and one reviewer said he “delivered what can only be described as a flawless set.”

Getting there

The Spirit Store is on Georges Quay in Dundalk town centre, Co. Louth, A91 NR79, a converted quayside store on the spot where the Castletown River meets the harbour. The venue runs a food menu Wednesday to Saturday from 12pm to 8pm and Sunday from 12pm to 6:30pm.

While you’re in Dundalk

Dundalk is the county town of Louth, a working town of around 43,000 people built around St Patrick’s Cathedral and the old grid of Clanbrassil Street and the Long Walk. It’s also a border town: the M1 effectively runs out here, Newry is twelve kilometres up the road, and the Cooley Peninsula starts just five minutes on the other side of the bay. The Spirit Store itself is a multi-award-winning live venue whose stage has hosted acts including David Keenan, Beth Orton and Ash. See more of what’s on across the county on the Louth hub, or explore Dundalk itself.
