Bláithín de Burca brings her comedy show to Whelan’s this Sunday

Award-winning comedian Bláithín de Burca will present her debut feature solo show Sauvignon Bláithín at Whelan’s this Sunday, September 29.

The show digs into topics such as sex and dating, neurodivergence and mental illness, self-medication, religion and more, with a “distinctively wry humour and sassy style”, according to a press statement.

De Burca is a regular billing on the Dublin comedy scene and popular TV and internet personality, known for opening for renowned comedians like Willa White, Neil Delamere and David O’Doherty and bringing her own shows to festivals such as Edinburgh and Dublin Fringes.

Please do get your tickets for my show Sauvignon Bláithín asap - I heard they’re going fast (I heard that from my own fantasy in my brain where the world is ok but still, that carries over sometimes like)! https://t.co/FVCWMKfviq
