PJ Gallagher

 

PJ Gallagher plays the Táin Theatre, Town Hall, Crowe Street, Dundalk on Saturday the 27th of October. Tickets are €16 & €14 conc. and are available from the Tain Theatre Box Office, Crowe Street, Dundalk or online through our tickets page. Performance is at 8pm.

PJ Gallagher is fast becoming one of Ireland's best-loved comedians. Following the huge success of his role as Jake Stevens in the hilarious and sometimes outrageous hit TV show "Naked Camera", PJ rarely has time to be himself these days as he prepares for yet another run of the massively popular series.

PJ Gallagher is a Vicar Street regular, can often be seen with Jason Byrne on various TV and live performances, has toured with Des Bishop and has appeared at the Cat Laughs festival in Kilkenny. He is also a graduate of the Gaeity School of Acting.

With appearances on both The Miriam Callaghan and Tubridy show, you can expect to see a lot more of this brilliant, energetic young comic.

For a man who ambushes people as they go about their everyday business, makes them uncomfortable and mines their embarrassment for laughs, there is something strangely appropriate about PJ Gallaghers route into comedy.

The Sunday Times Culture Magazine

Gallaghers encounters with the unsuspecting public are not only hilarious but also crackle with and edgy energy.
