Nighthawks will return for one night with a performance at The Workman’s Club in Dublin city centre on Wednesday, April 5th.

The one-night show will feature Sligo-based songwriter Pearse McGloughlin, comedian Kevin Gildea, Dublin-based singer Leila Jane and award winning poet Colm Keegan. The event will also feature a 20-minute play entitled ‘Lennon and Shotton’, about John Lennon and his best friend Pete Shotton, directed by Stephen Kennedy and performed by Padraic McGinley.

Nighthawks is a performance showcase featuring different kinds of live music, sketch comedy, stand-up comedy, short theatre and spoken word. The show originally ran at Dublin’s Cobalt Café & Gallery from 2008 until 2020 and put on over 250 acts during that time.

Nighthawks has also put on shows at other venues and festivals including the Guinness Storehouse, the Project Arts Centre, Electric Picnic, the Dublin Book Festival and the Flat Lake Festival.

Doors will open at 8pm and the show will start at 8.15pm sharp, so it is recommended to arrive early.

“Please buy your tickets early to avoid disappointment and relationship break-ups,” a press release for the event states.

Tickets are €17.50 and can be purchased online here.
