Join Paddy Cullivan on a hilariously insightful journey through the history of partition and the Ireland of the future.

Imagine this. It’s 2032. The people have spoken on both sides of the border and Ireland is a brand new 32-county country. There’s a new flag. A new anthem. There’s even a new capital! As Unionists holiday in the south, discovering the imperial joys of ‘Royal’ Dublin – southerners discover the ancient landscape of Ulster beyond the retail outlets of Newry and Titanic Belfast. Magical things happen when you create a new country – where EVERYTHING is on the table – and it’s exciting.

Leave all your preconceptions at the door. It’s not a United Ireland. It’s not an ‘agreed’ Ireland. It’s not ‘shared’ – nor is it ‘new’. It’s simply- ‘I can’t believe it’s not Ireland’! But first… we have to get there. Pushing optimism over despair, Paddy has created an uplifting vision of the future, a show that breaks down barriers and long-held perceptions. As fair to the unionist tradition as the nationalist, this show has enlightened and entertained people from East as well as West Belfast – and even Cork. An audiovisual spectacular full of song, comedy, incisive history and incredible futuristic imagery with the help of A.I., audiences who loved ‘The Murder of Michael Collins’ have all said the same thing about ‘I Can’t Believe it’s Not Ireland’ – they leave on a high.
