Teresa Livingstone: Nice Lady

Sat 3 Oct | 8pm | £16.50

Teresa Livingstone, one of Northern Ireland’s top comedy acts and skilled pianist and singer, brings her hilarious new show ‘Nice Lady’ to The Market Place.

Blending stand-up comedy and original songs, Teresa explores what happens when a forty-something Northern Irish woman stops being “nice” and starts telling the truth. The result is a riotously funny and heartfelt celebration of reclaiming your voice, taking up space, and laughing loudly while you do it.

Teresa recently starred in her own BBC Sounds series ‘Tell Teresa’, nominated for a prestigious ARIA comedy Award. She’s also familiar to audiences through her popular comedy podcast ‘Scundered’ and appearances on BBC favourites ‘The Blame Game’, ‘Soft Border Patrol’ and ‘Late Licence’.

Contains strong language. Suitable for age 16+.

This event will take place in our studio theatre with an unreserved, tiered seating layout.

‘A terrific performer. More than funny enough without her keyboard but with a knack for an excellent comedic song, Teresa is so easy to like and even easier to laugh at’ The Quintessential Review

Eerieland: Ghost Stories of the North of Ireland

Thurs 22 Oct | 8pm | £15 | £12 (conc)

This Halloween, go beyond the realm of death with dark historian Andrew Johnston of Alternative Ulstours, as he shares supernatural tales from the grave!

Andrew will take you on a virtual road trip, unleashing nightmarish lore from Northern Ireland and the Irish border counties. Across the landscape, malevolent forces linger, from a violent, bone-chilling poltergeist that plagued a helpless family to a grand mansion cursed by stolen Egyptian mummies.

Discover a remote farmhouse where two failed exorcisms compelled a shattered widow to flee. Learn about a tragic spirit that escaped a priest’s trap to haunt a hotel until its fiery destruction.

The torments culminate in one of Ireland’s most notorious stately homes, where a phantom’s touch left a burn mark, fulfilling a deadly spectral pact.

Steel your nerves for an evening of hair-raising horror with Alternative Ulstours!

Suitable for age 12+. Contains distressing or potentially triggering themes
