Ger Staunton

Castlebar comedian is holding Claremorris show

CASTLEBAR comedian Ger Staunton is returning to Mayo for a Valentine's night special at Claremorris Town Hall Theatre.

Only a few weeks after selling out his 2019 show, 'Friend of your Dad', in the Linenhall Theatre, Castlebar, this Claremorris debut is a hybrid of his 2017 and 2018 Edinburgh Fringe Festival solo shows and is not to be missed.

The popular funny man saw his shows last year in Dublin, Galway, Belfast, Wexford and Castlebar selling out.

He's on stage in Claremorris on February 14 at 8 p.m. and tickets are on sale from www.townhall.ie.

Here's what the Sunday Independent Review (January 4, /2020) said of Staunton: A rising star who has creased sides in the UK, US and mainland Europe. The Castlebar native creates a tempo all of his own, unpacking his deadpan, immaculately woven anecdotal riffs with a smooth pace and a dark twinkle that has no qualms about upsetting safe sensibilities (as all comedians should).
