Mick Foley Brings the Laughter to Ireland

The name Mick Foley will resonate fondly with millions of pro-wrestling fans the world over. Or, as he himself would say, parodying a one Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, "the dozens and dozens" of fans around the world. To me though, that name resonated with me on another level, as I identified it from a young age as an oddly Irish name for a 90's American pro-wrestler. Now, just as in the spirit of Barack Obama's visit to Ireland this past May, Foley visits the home of his (perhaps) faux-ancestors for his comedy tour to bring the laughter while "checking out the Foley family tree!"

Foley and 'Socko'
Foley hits Cyprus Avenue in Cork on November 3, followed by a gig in Dolans Pub in Limerick the next day. The two Irish show compliment a round of gigs that Mick will perform in England between 9-12 November. The UK gigs will take place in Manchester, Nottingham, Newcastle and London.



Tickets for the Cork date are €19, or €26.50 for VIP (incl. booking fee). Limerick tickets are selling at the slightly cheaper price of €16.50, or €24 for the VIP treatment. This includes the show, an 8x10 signed photo, meet & greet, photo op and the signing of one additional item.

I have already booked my VIP ticket for the gig in Cork, and I highly recommend getting a ticket too. This is something not to be sniffed at!
