Talk at the newly renovated Portarlington Train Station platform

David Butler will be sharing interesting insights about the creative process of his newest graphic novel “Tom Crean - Irish Antarctic Hero”

The evening will wrap up with a free comedy night at the Anvil which is celebrating its Anniversary Weekend!

This year, we are very lucky to have two incredible Irish comedians bring their Edinburgh shows to Portarlington. This is long-form work you don't normally get a chance to see outside of a Fringe Festival or a tour of theatres, and we’re getting two of them!

Colman Hayes - 'Is This Anything?'

A loose, funny work-in-progress show from Colman Hayes about growing up Catholic, figuring out sex and wondering how he ended up like this. Jokes, stories, confusion. Possibly closure.

Aideen McQueen - 'Waiting for Texto'

Waiting for Texto is an electrifying interactive comedy play that captures the raw, universal experience of waiting for a response to your carefully crafted WhatsApp message. Through humour and technology, it explores the frustration of not getting a reply after an unforgettable night. Described as Bridget Jones meets Baby Reindeer, the play offers a fresh, hilarious take on the trials of modern dating, perfect for anyone who's struggled with love and texting in the digital age. If men are such visual creatures, why can't they see my texts?!
