Comedy Kings and Snooker World Champions come to The Nuremore Estate in 2026

The recently renovated and re-opened Nuremore Estate, located just outside Carrickmacross in Co Monaghan is set to host a laugh out loud weekend of comedy on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th January, 2026. 

Performing in the magnificent Kavanagh Suite at this two-night funny fest will be four of Ireland’s finest comedians, Dylan Moran and Barry Murphy on Saturday, plus Jason Byrne and Karl Spain on Sunday.

Meath man Dylan Moran became the youngest ever winner of the prestigious Perrier Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Fringe in 1996 at the age of twenty four. He brings his brand new stand-up show ‘DOLLA HO’ to the stage on Saturday 24th January with choice servings of his thoughts on everything and anything - delivered with his trademark poetic panache. He’s supported by Irish comic Barry Murphy, star of the satirical show ‘Apres Match’ on RTE.

“The Outright King of Live Comedy” Jason Byrne holds the record as the biggest selling comedian in the Edinburgh Festival’s history. Join him on Sunday 25th January for his latest show, a daily commute beween having his feet firmly on the ground and his head floating in the clouds. He’s supported by Limerick comic Karl Spain, a staple name in stand-up comedy here and abroad for the last 20 years, who toured internationally with Kevin Bridges.

Tickets €25 for one night, and €40 for a weekend pass. Available from hotel reception at Nuremore Estate and online at ticketmaster.ie

An Evening with Dennis Taylor and Ken Doherty

A legendary evening awaits the Kavanagh Suite at Nuremore Estate on Sunday 1st February, when former World Snooker Champions Dennis Taylor (1985) and Ken Doherty (1997) meet for a fantastic night for snooker and sports fans.

Comedian and sports enthusiast Barry Murphy will host what promises to be an informal and funny Q&A with the Irish legends, before the two snooker greats face off for an exhibition match which neither man will want to lose.

Following the exhibition match, Dennis and Ken will each play a frame with two members of the audience, with the chance to win signed sports memorabilia and of course enjoy a few pints with the two snooker legends at the bar after the match.

Tickets €20 for unreserved seating around the stage and snooker table. Available from hotel reception at Nuremore Estate and online at ticketmaster.ie
