RAY O’LEARY: LAUGHTER? I HARDLY KNOW HER!
plus support
Whelan’s Upstairs • Tue 17th February 2026
Ray O’ Leary recently pulled a man from a wrecked car and as the man lay dying, he used his last ounce of strength asking Ray – Best Show Nominee at the 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, ‘Taskmaster New Zealand’ star – to tell his children that he loved them. Ray promised the man he would. But first, he has his new tour to think about. Laughter? I Hardly Know Her played to huge audiences at the 2025 Melbourne and Edinburgh Comedy Festivals, and this burgeoning comedy legend is excited to bring his iconic two-piece suit to Ireland for the first time.
And when that’s out of the way, he can get back to passing on the message.
