Can u tell us any more with Mick?

I think people are too nice to Mick, afraid to hurt his feelings. We all love him but he needs to work hard to become a proper comedian; what works for books doesn't necessarily translate into comedy. The warmup acts batted away the hecklers no problem. Even stuff like whispering loudly into the mic & structuring of jokes....place was an awkward funeral leaving the auditorium. I love Mick and think he did a great job as an amateur comedian but i wouldn't be so quick to dip right back in. Well i guess it depends if he works hard on it over the coming year.

Did anyone go to his previous tour, did he improve much this time around?

He was alot happier with the first tour last year, I was at the opening dates and they were alot better. In pubs in Cork, not a big auditorium in Dublin.

I'll have Mick on my show later today, where he addresses the Dublin issue directly... (and his favorite WrestleMania moments!)

Check out Wrestling Voice Radio for the interview

Can you stick up a link of where i could find the interview? Will be really interesting to hear what Mick has to say about it.

montyrebel · 30-03-2012 3:19pm

Ask him something, anything about the Belfast show as well, see if he remembers the guy he met outside of the venue when he arrived at it

duuuaaaane · 30-03-2012 3:37pm

Here's a link to my show on iTunes, the interview is the most recent one

starviewadams · 10-05-2012 10:17pm

I should be living in Edinburgh by then,hopefully there's less drunken hecklers there then the Dublin show!

MitchKoobski · 25-02-2013 12:40pm

Resurrecting this. He's touring the UK again in a bit, has anyone heard anything about Ireland dates?

25-02-2013 12:53pm

He might do a show over here around Sep/Oct/Nov he said on twitter.

His last show over here was ruined by drunken hecklers so im surprised he'd come back.

I suppose it could happen anywhere though and heckling is just something you have to deal with as a comedian.

jaykhunter · 27-02-2013 2:28am

Drunken heckling is not uncommon in Dublin so I'd imagine he'd more consider cork if he's to do an Irish date. I'd imagine fans would only be worse a year later.

montyrebel · 29-03-2013 9:48am

he has a date for 21st April in the Empire in Belfast, sold out already but might get tickets off ebay if you are lucky

srm23 · 29-03-2013 7:40pm

can't wait to heckle him when he returns.

You're hilarious.
Perhaps you should just stick to Internet dating and posting about the Late Late show?

Furious-Red · 23-06-2015 3:43pm

Empire Music Hall - Sept 10th - £28

Officer999 · 23-06-2015 7:24pm

Any word on him coming South?

Hashtag_HEEL · 23-06-2015 7:26pm

I honestly believe that Dublin show in 2012 ruined any more big name tours for us.

If so then he's not cut out for it, is he made of sugar?

I saw him in Limerick that time and it was an excellent show. He was legit pissed off with the Dublin show tho so maybe your right

What happened at that? Saw him in cork and it was great , he even went over time by over a half hour?

I wasn't at it as i was at the Limerick gig but from reports, a lot of lads were hammered and continually heckled him throughout his routine.

duuuaaaane · 23-06-2015 7:56pm

Guys were drunk, heckling and shouting out punchlines, Mick was at the end of a long tour and obviously had enough and it came all out on these two guys, who warranted a reaction from Mick on their own regardless.

We were working with Mick that night and afterwards in the dressing room he was just down on the whole experience, thought that he could trust the crowd to drink before the show and be fine. Those two clearly ruined his opinion of many Irish people unfortunately.

The same crew brought Piper over and it went off without a hitch - great night

Eros have been mad to come back since Mick - the venue for Mick was too big for other guys they brought over - no knock on them, Mick was the only Attitude Era name - DDP wanted to do Dublin but they couldn't find a venue.

When they found Whelans (which hosted Piper) they were very happy with it and I'm sure they'll do Dublin more often now, whether they do Dublin with Mick is 100% up to Mick.

FOLEY TOUR HITS BELFAST!
Tickets for my September 10 ‪#‎BELFAST‬ show go on sale in JUST 24 HOURS! You can get them TOMORROW, June 25 at 9:00 am at http://www.ticketmaster.ie/mick-foley-b…/…/38004ED6752D07BF…
While I am looking forward to being part of the ‪#‎Blackpool‬ Comic Con a Q&A in ‪#‎Cardiff‬ and appearing at super-cool wrestling shows in ‪#‎Aberdeen‬ and ‪#‎Glasgow‬, the Belfast show at the ‪#‎Empire‬ will be my ONLY ‪#‎FiftyYearsOfFoley‬ show in the UK in 2015,
WHY ONLY ONE SHOW, AND WHY BELFAST?
I'm going to be really honest here: I have no idea what the interest level is for a full scale tour of the UK and Ireland. It's been two and a half years since I did my last tour - and in that time, there have been a LOT of wrestlers on UK/Irish stages..and I just don't know if a Foley tour will put butts in seats anymore. So I'll use the results of the first few opening days of sales to get a feel for what you cats across the ocean are in the mood for these days.
In the end, my goal for every appearance I make is the same; to send people home feeling that attending one of my events was a wise investment of time, energy and money. I really enjoy meeting fans at these conventions, and the energy I've seen in recent ‪#‎WrestleZone‬ and ‪#‎InsaneChampionshipWrestling‬ is just incredible. I'll do whatever I can to send people home with smiles on their faces. I really LOVE doing my own shows...I love performing, and taking the audience on a journey. I just don't know if there is a market for that type of thing anymore.
I'm hoping the people there, RIGHT THERE in Belfast, Northern Ireland will prove me wrong.
Feel free to leave a comment or share this post. I do my best to read every one.
Have a nice day,
Mick

I'm definitely going to try and get a ticket for this in the morning. I'm off work on September 10th so I'm going to drive up from Kilkenny I'd say. If anyone is interested in maybe arranging the trip along with me, I'm more than happy to drive up and back if we pool in on petrol. Belfast is only a couple of hours max. from Dublin so it really isn't that far to drive to see ol' Cactus. I never saw him before, but I remember when he played in Belvedere College I met someone on the bus afterwards (I had been in the studio in Temple Bar until late that night and was getting a bus to Blackrock afterwards) and he told me about how the show had gotten a bit derailed by people getting a bit too drunk. I was just reminded of that little chat when I saw this thread.
