Paddy Cullivan Reunites Ireland with Comedy
Star Trek said it would happen in 2024, but for Paddy Cullivan, 2032 will be the year of Irish Unification. Through hot takes on Irish history and AI-fueled visions of Ireland’s future, Paddy charts the course to unity in 2032 through his antic, visionary one-man show I Can’t Believe It’s Not Ireland, on the eve of its US Tour.
Paddy is best known for fronting The Camembert Quartet on Ryan Tubridy’s Tubridy Tonight and then The Late Late Show, playing with everyone from Sinead O’Connor to Russell Crowe to Michael Bublé. But he later shifted focus to innovative one-man multimedia shows, including Solutionism, The Joy of Brex, and his historical entertainments The 10 Dark Secrets of the Irish Revolution and The 10 Dark Secrets of 1798.
In I Can’t Believe…Paddy provides a fresh new interpretation of Ireland’s past from St Patrick to partition and invites the audience to think big with him in envisioning a welcoming, inclusive, and dynamic future united Ireland. The US tour opens in San Francisco on Mar. 1, with stops scheduled for Kansas City, Portland, ME, Boston, New York, and more.
Martin and John also preview their upcoming “Irish Stew Gets Lost in Belfast Road Trip,” featuring a dozen episodes recorded in and around Northern Ireland’s rapidly transforming capital city. And do forgive them for a little humblebragging—they just got back from Dublin where they celebrated winning Bronze in the Irish Pod Awards Best Hosting Duo/Trio category and taking home the Gold as the 2024 Best Society & Culture Podcast.
Open your ears to a new way to understand Ireland’s past and future with this Irish Stew sample of Paddy Cullivan’s I Can’t Believe It’s Not Ireland.
