Jarlath Regan – Craic Pot

A BRAND NEW STANDUP SHOW FROM “YER MAN” OFF INSTAGRAM COMING YOUR WAY IN 2027

Ireland’s favourite comedian/Mammy translator, Jarlath Regan is back on the road with a brand new standup show for 2027 — “Craic Pot.”

After selling out theatres across Ireland and around the world, Regan returns with his sharpest, funniest and most relatable show yet. Known for his viral daily clips and pitch-perfect observations of Irish life, Craic Pot sees Jarlath diving headfirst into the unrelenting lunacy of modern living — from family life and social awkwardness to that uniquely Irish ability to find humour in absolutely everything.

Packed to the gills with brand new material, Craic Pot is a masterclass in storytelling, packed with razor-sharp standup, ridiculous real-life moments and the kind of laugh-out-loud honesty that has made Regan a household name.

“Prepare to cry with laughter” (The Post)

Following millions of online views and multiple sell-out tours across the U.S., Canada, Australia, the U.K. and Ireland, Jarlath is making good on his promise to deliver a brand new show every single year. And in 2027, he’s turning up the heat.

In a world that feels increasingly chaotic, Craic Pot is the perfect antidote — a night of big laughs, shared experiences and the kind of feel-good comedy that leaves audiences walking out lighter than they came in. As one critic put it, Regan remains “the jewel in Ireland’s comedy crown” (The Examiner).

Jarlath first burst into the public consciousness in 2023 when his Instagram and TikTok videos took the world by storm. Since then, his rise has been nothing short of meteoric. Patrick Kielty hailed him as “a comedy master at work,” while The Irish Times has described him as a “comedy genius.”

His previous tours have sold out across the globe, including multiple nights at New York’s legendary Gramercy Theatre, and his now-annual January residency at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre has become a staple of the Irish comedy calendar.

With Craic Pot, Regan serves up another 90 minutes of brand new, never-before-seen material — proving once again that he is at the very top of his game.

If you like your comedy smart, warm, observational and relentlessly funny, this is one night out you won’t want to miss.
