Ireland’s favourite accidental ballroom dancer, disgruntled suburbanite, and master of observational comedy, Bernard O’Shea, is set to make his triumphant return to 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on Sunday 7th February 2027 with his brand-new stand-up show, ‘Desperate House Husband.’
Tickets priced from €28.90 including booking fee & €2 restoration levy on sale now via Tickemaster Ireland
After years of being told what to do by his wife, his children, and the producers of Dancing with the Stars, Bernard is finally stepping out of the laundry room and onto the stage to share his hilarious struggles with midlife, marriage, and the sheer exhaustion of modern domesticity.
‘Desperate House Husband’ finds the co-creator of the cult-hit Republic of Telly and star of Bridget & Eamon at his most vulnerable and vitriolic.
From the perils of the school run to the mystery of why he can never find anything in the fridge, O’Shea delivers a high-octane performance that proves he is still the king of the "relatable catastrophe."
"Bernard O'Shea is a comedic force of nature," says a representative for Lisa Richards. "In 'Desperate House Husband,' he leans into the chaos of his daily life, finding the universal humor in the mundane. Whether you are a parent, a partner, or just someone who enjoys watching a man slowly lose his mind in suburbia, this show is for you."
Bernard O’Shea is one of Ireland's most beloved comedians and broadcasters. He first burst onto the scene with his uniquely frenetic stand-up style before becoming a household name as the co-host of RTÉ’s Republic of Telly. He went on to co-write and star in the award-winning sitcom Bridget & Eamon, and won the hearts of the nation during a memorable stint on Dancing with the Stars.
An accomplished author, Bernard has penned the best-selling books My Noisy 1980s Childhood and Man v Child. He is widely regarded as one of the most distinctive voices in Irish comedy today.
Tickets for this one-night-only event are expected to sell fast. Don’t miss your chance to see Bernard O’Shea attempt to reclaim his dignity (and perhaps some peace and quiet) on the legendary 3Olympia stage.
