godtabh

thebostoncrab

His other Irish date is Limerick on the 4th. Damnit it's far out to go.

It's quite sad that 4 years ago I would have travelled to see Foley if he was within 9 hours driving and when he's in Limerick I couldn't be arsed if you paid me.

MitchKoobski

I always find WWE stuff in Dublin too pricey for me and I rarely travel to Dublin, but I've been to Cork plenty so theres no way in hell I was passing this up.

EdK

Have met Mick on 2 previous occasions but I'm a sucker for VIP especially for only €5-6 more nice to be able to travel into Cork City for this rather than a 3-4 trip with a nights stay

D2D

Ah, it's on a Thursday, gotta see what sort of timetable I get in collage before getting a ticket.

CMpunked

Dare i say it...

PW meet up? :pac:

Poor dubs have to leave the pale?

jaykhunter

@jaykhunter

EdK

thebostoncrab

Looks like I'm Cork bound! Myself and Mrs. Boston Crab are going to make a holiday out of it.

Hi there IRISH fans - my Novemeber 4 show in LIMERICK is at DOLAN'S PUB. You can call 061-314-483 for tickets or visit http://dolanspub.com

From Mick on Twitter

Charisteas

On the Dolans website, it has the gig listed as the 4th November, and a VIP show on the 2nd November, is this correct or a typo?

Insect Overlord

I'll be booking a ticket for Dolan's as soon as I can anyway.

Melion

Going to buy a VIP ticket for Dolans tomorrow

Just got 2 VIP tickets for Limerick. the girlfriend's movin down there for college this week. So I'll be nice and pay her a visit around the 4th of November :P

Anyone know what VIP includes?

starviewadams

Ah that's ****,still no anouncement of a Dublin show!

MitchKoobski

Dublin gets feckin' everything, its about time the rest of the country got a look in!

starviewadams

That's because Dublin has the biggest population!

C'mon Mick,add an auld Dublin show,I can't afford bus/train to Cork or Limerick+plus hotel for the night+ticket+drinks and food and stuff.

MitchKoobski

Maybe you should hitchhike it to the event in tribute. :pac:

D2D

Yay for me being an idiot! Completely forgot I had that week off and it's cost me a VIP ticket:mad:

Cherry_Cola

I held off too as I don't know if I'll still be in Cork then or not. Didn't expect the VIP tickets to go that quickly either

PTH2009

add a Waterford date too.

BIG news for IRISH fans: a SECOND show has been added for CORK on NOV 3rd! VIP tix include meet n greet, signed 8x10, 1 more item + photo!

CMpunked

Theres next to no hope of there being a dublin show.
I like cork, might head down.

Furious-Red

Anyone think he is doing something clever? Announce the other shows to get them to sell out and then finally add a dublin date when they have just about/sold out

MitchKoobski

Nah I think its pretty much just that he sold out Cork and had the opportunity to add an extra show.

DepecheHead101

My VIP tickets arrived from Entertainment.ie today for the Cork gig and although the right price is on them it says they are standard?

Mick Foley

Comedy - 3 Nov
at Cyprus Avenue
He's a former WWE champion, a hardcore legend and a New York Times best-selling author. He's a globetrotting athlete and entertainer that has bled and sweated for hundreds of thousands of fans all across the world. Now Mick Foley has exchanged the world of headlocks, steel chairs and punches for the world of stories, banter and punch-lines. Universally acclaimed as one of the most entertaining talkers in professional wrestling, Mick has decided to unleash his verbal talents on the world of stand-up comedy. With his unique combination of wit and easy-going, understated charm he's sure to enthrall fans old and new from behind the microphone.

Mick made his debut as a stand-up comic in 2009 at the world famous Improv in Los Angeles, California. Since then he's shared his anecdotes and observations with audiences across the length and breadth of America. In November of this year Mick will make his eagerly anticipated European stand-up comedy debut in Cork, something that his Irish fans have been clamouring for the last two years. Always an immensely popular performer, he's sure to be welcomed with open arms.

As a professional wrestler, Mick Foley has a resume that is almost unparalleled in the industry. Since his debut in 1985 Mick has worked alongside and opposite a veritable who's who of the wrestling business; Hulk Hogan, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson are among his contemporaries. Mick's comedic talents were famously showcased during a TV segment with "The Rock" on WWE's Monday Night Raw programme in 1999 that attracted an audience record that stands to this day. The former King Of The Death Match is also revered for his dramatic, shocking and physically gruelling matches. His infamous 1998 "Hell In A Cell" bout with WWE icon The Undertaker is one of the most watched and discussed contests of all time. His ability to shift between light-hearted hilarity and ice-cold intensity has made Mick one of the most fascinating characters in wrestling. This can be seen in Barry Blaustein's feature docum entary, "Beyond The Mat" which features Mick heavily.

Mick's track record outside the ring is impressive enough in its own right. His autobiography, "Have A Nice Day: A Tale Of Blood & Sweatsocks", shot to the top of the New York Times best-seller list upon its release in 1999. Hugely successful and critically acclaimed, it appealed to wrestling-fans and non wrestling-fans alike. His TV credits include shows as diverse as Robot Wars, Boy Meets World and Jon Stewart's Daily Show. Away from the spotlight Mick is an advocate and volunteer for RAINN, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, devotes time to numerous charitable causes yet still finds time to indulge his passion for theme parks, Halloween and Tori Amos.

With such a wealth of personal experience to draw upon, Mick Foley's first ever Irish stand up tour is sure to be hilarious and captivating in equal measures. Hecklers, however, should think twice in case they find themselves on the receiving end of his trademark mandible claw finishing move.

Mick had this to say about the tour:
"I am enormously excited and relieved about my upcoming comedy tour. Excited about the prospect of telling stories, hearing laughter and fielding questions from some of my most loyal and dedicated fans. Relieved that I finally have a real answer to the one of the two questions I'm most frequently asked: when are you coming back to Ireland? As far as that other question, about returning to WWE, I guess we'll have to wait and see."

***Extra Show Now Added @ 11pm***

Standard Price €19 inlc. Booking Fee

VIP Price €26.50 incl. Booking Fee (This includes the show + 8x10 signed photo, meet & greet, photo op & signing of 1 additional item

Just booked tickets to this. Does not having a VIP ticket mean I won't get to meet Mick? Was looking forward to hanging a personalised picture on the wall for everyone to see!

duuuaaaane

I'll be meeting Mick in between his two shows in Cork and recording a sit down video interview with him, it'll be his third appearance on our show so it's cool to get this one in person.

Did I read somewhere that Mick will be doing a show in Dublin next year?

Thanking you

Only got the standard ticket too, any chance of gettin a sock signed ye reckon?

grames_bond

Anyone who went - how was it?

EdK

I went,he's no comedy pro but he's not bad some good stories,He's got a couple of set piece jokes mixed in with his wrestling stories and seems to react to the crowd and the moment with some of his stuff

Enjoyable night and the meet and greet was nicely casual no mad rush. It went pretty late and his second show which was due to start at 11pm would probably have been closer to 1am starting i'd say

he sang he told jokes and stories and danced and did a few impressions (Vince,Terry Funk) he's a one man show,go see him if you get the chance

Deco99

It was doors @ 11 for the second show, so fitting in the warm up act it was expected that he didnt come on until bout 12.20. Crowd was nicely warmed up at that stage, pretty, pretty, p-r-e-t-t-y entertaining except for the tools that kept shouting up pointless comments.

WVLuke

I wasat both shows and I interviewed the guy(for wrestlingvoiceradio.com....shameless plug) before the show. Very enjoyable night the first show was very good, the second show was equally as good from Foley but the people who kept shouting stuff at it did take from it...they were shouting things as he was trying to deliver punchlines ......but overall definitely worth going to see I will have a review up during the week.
