The Blindboy Podcast Tickets

Presented by: In Association with AMA Music Agency

Described as a "cultural phenomenon" by The New York Times; The Blindboy Podcast is an award-winning, storytelling podcast in the Irish tradition of the Seanchaí which seamlessly intertwines history, fiction, cultural critique and politics into a relaxing form the creator calls “The podcast hug”. Drawing upon his knowledge and chronic curiosity to democratise topics such as art, psychology, politics, science and music, for these live events, Blindboy will offer the audience a unique and humorous insight into issues which are perceived to be complex.

The Blindboy Podcast is the creative summation of Mr Boatclub’s experience, exceeding 60 million global listeners. From Toronto, to London, to Sydney to Galway, Blindboy’s live podcasts are consistently sold-out affairs where he captivates his audiences in a quietened intimate atmosphere. But, like Blindboy, these events are truly unique.

Drawing from his years of live performance experience, Blindboy will read from his critically acclaimed book Topographica Hibernica; a visionary new short story collection that unravels the knotted threads of humanity, nature and colonisation.

With a surprise special guest at every show, these meditative evenings will seek to replicate a private conversation in a public space through the language of theatre. In equal parts spontaneously endearing and refreshingly engaging, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Notable past guests have included Spike Lee, Charlotte Church, actor Paddy Considine, Hozier, and Graham Norton.

"Blindboy is maybe one of the most gifted writers of his generation" The Irish Times

"Blindboy addresses topics like mental health that Irish news media outlets rarely touch and brings a millennial sensibility to political discussions. His register is earnest and intellectual, but also funny and down-to-earth." The New York Times
