Anne Gildea brings hilarious new solo show to Louth this May
Renowned comedian Anne Gildea returns with a bold, funny new take on modern womanhood
Anne Gildea is coming to the Spirit Store in Dundalk with her hilarious new show: The Further Adventures in Womaning
Acclaimed comedian, author, and co-founder of the iconic comedy trio The Nualas, Anne Gildea is back on stage with her brand-new solo show, The Further Adventures in Womaning, an uproarious deep-dive into the wild, wonderful, and ever-surprising experience of being a woman today.
Building on the success of her smash-hit show How to Get the Menopause and Enjoy It, Gildea once again brings her razor-sharp wit, fearless honesty, and signature comedic warmth to a fresh set of stories, observations, and character-driven sketches.
The Further Adventures in Womaning examines everything from modern femininity to aging, identity, body politics, and the unglamorous—but deeply relatable—truths of being human.
Audiences can expect a night of bold humour, unexpected insights, and pure joy as she unpacks the myths, mishaps, and magic of womanhood with her unique blend of intelligence and comedy. The show promises laughter, connection, and more than a few “that is SO me” moments.
Anne Gildea has long been celebrated as one of Ireland’s most original comedic voices. With a career spanning comedy, theatre, writing, and broadcasting, she continues to entertain and inspire audiences across the country.
The Further Adventures in Womaning showcases her at the height of her comedic powers. Previously Anne was a founding member of the iconic Irish musical-comedy trio, The Nualas, who toured everywhere from New York to Moate, playing stage, television, and the wireless.
She started out in London in the late 80s, going on to feature in many Irish TV comedy programmes. Also, a published author, Anne’s last book, about her treatment for breast cancer, inspired the Irish feature film, The Bright Side which had a cinema release in 2021 and streamed on Prime.
She began performing in London in the late ’80s and went on to co-found the internationally acclaimed musical-comedy trio The Nualas, touring everywhere from Melbourne to New York and appearing across major TV and radio platforms including BBC One and BBC Radio 4.
As a solo performer, Anne has created multiple hit shows, most recently How to Get the Menopause and Enjoy It, which toured for three years and led to a 35-date UK theatre tour with menopause expert Dr Louise Newson in 2024.
She now tours her brand-new show, The Further Adventures in Womaning, a fast, funny look at Irish womanhood from the 1970s to today.
Further Adventures in Womaning is at the Spirit Store on Saturday 16 May 2026, with doors opening at 7:30PM and tickets priced at €23.00 plus a €2.00 booking fee at spiritstore.ie
