“I feel like going to the fringe is more work than going to the Olympics. Though when athletes come back from the Olympics their mothers don’t say “So is it a holiday you were on love?”
WHO: Gearóid Farrelly
WHAT: “Gay Irish comedian Gearóid Farrelly has limited patience. In his new stand up show he will touch on many of the things that boil his blood and most of his triggers are completely unreasonable. Everything from his make-believe children to things that are supposed to make you calm, like massages and tran-f*cking-quility rooms. Gearóid was recently seen on tour with Joanne McNally and Sarah Millican and is the host of Agony Rants, a popular Irish podcast co-hosted with Eurovision legend Niamh Kavanagh. ‘Gearóid Farrelly is bloody hilarious’ (Sarah Millican). ‘My absolute favourite’ (Joanne McNally).”

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?
I have been to the fringe as a performer a number of times, but it has been a while since I have done the full month. I feel like going to the fringe is more work than going to the Olympics. Though when athletes come back from the Olympics their mothers don’t say “So is it a holiday you were on love?” I always have huge concerns about going away for a whole month. I miss my cat. I’ll inevitably leave the immersion on. I love the fringe but come on, a month? Can we get this over in a weekend please?
What are the big things you’ve learned since 2023 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?
2023!! That was only a year ago… I don’t learn lessons that fast. I’m still getting used to Robbie not being in Take That.
Tell us about your show.
I wrote it, I’m in it. After the fringe I will be going on tour in Ireland and the UK from 3rd October until the end of 2025
What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?
Oh there are loads of shows I want to see. I cannot wait to see my pals shows. Chris Kent and Joanne Mcnally are both doing work in progress runs of their new shows and I have seen both and they are amazing. Also I love @beverlyinLA because she is so so funny. I’m also really looking forward to Josh Jones’ new show. He is always brilliant.
