Patrick Kielty announces first tour in Five years

Comedian Patrick Kielty will embark on his brand-new stand-up tour Borderline from 11th May 2022, kicking off in Nottingham. In his first UK dates since his critically acclaimed 2015 live show ‘Help’, he will play 30 dates across the country.

Tickets for the UK leg of the tour are available from Thursday 21st October at mickperrin.com with additional Irish dates set to be announced week.

Borderline sees Patrick Kielty return to his satirical roots with a personal take on borders, national identity and the future of the Union in a post-Brexit landscape. As a Northern Ireland native, who grew up close to the Irish border, this new one man stand up show delves into his homeland’s recent history to try to make sense of what Brexit’s new borders and political upheaval means for our shared identities.

Patrick Kielty said: “The world’s been turned on its head the past few years and thanks to Brexit, we’re more obsessed with borders and national identity than ever. With Northern Ireland at the centre of it all, it feels like the right time to get back on stage and try to make some sense of where we’re heading.”
