The Night Joe Dolan’s Car Broke Down
Written & Directed by Padraic McIntyre
Following a record-breaking run at The Olympia Theatre the hit music & comedy show The Night Joe Dolan’s Car Broke Down comes to Claremorris Town Hall Theatre on Friday 27th November 2026.
Imagine being stranded with the legendary Joe Dolan in a rural pub in Cavan on the night his car breaks down. That’s just the sort of fantasy scenario that’s imagined in The Night Joe Dolan’s Car Broke Down, written and directed by Padraic McIntyre. The play is set on a stormy St. Stephen’s night as people gather to celebrate the 60th birthday party of the The Horse Munley. As the storm worsens and people head home, a knock to the door brings the night’s entertainment to a new level. As the play unfolds so too does personal secrets, the music and the craic, but the following morning lines blur between what actually happened and what has been imagined or wished for.
With laser sharp accuracy and a perfectly tuned ear Padraic McIntyre untangles a surprising web of relationships in recent rural Ireland.
A hilarious night of entertainment not to be missed!
Doors: 7.00pm | Show: 8.00pm | Full Bar
