Fresh from his biggest Irish headline show to date in the National Concert Hall and leading up to his fourth studio album release next year, David Keenan is set to embark on his Irish Theatre Tour 'Geimhreadh Galore!'. However, amidst all this, Keenan has announced he will be releasing a charity Christmas single.

David Keenan's new single, 'Christmas'll Ruin Me' is set for release on December 8th, with proceeds going to the Dublin Simon Community.

'Christmas'll Ruin Me' is a song sung by Keenan with his partner and long time collaborator, actor Evanne Kilgallon. The charity single has an idonate page, where the couple are trying to raise €2000 for the Simon Community, who provide housing and treatment services for homeless people especially vital at this time of year at the height of the housing crisis.

'Christmas’ll Ruin Me' is said to be a hopeful, humorous tale that deals with anxiety, addiction stigma and pressures of consumerism at this time of year and the joys of dancing in the nip.

This announcement comes just before Keenan's Geimhreadh Galore! tour kicks off; a new run of Irish theatre gigs that will include Dundalk’s An Tain Arts Centre on the 26th of November, Dublin’s Smock Alley theatre on the 27th, Cork’s Triskel Christchurch on the 8th of December & Limerick’s Belltable on December 22nd.

These gigs will give audience members the opportunity to see Keenan play solo, as part of the full band, play some brand new material along with some older tunes.

Support will take shape in the form Evanne Kilgallon’s one woman comedic play 'Jester’s Privilege', promising to be a diverse and entertaining night of music and theatre.

Those attending Keenan's gigs in An Táin Arts Centre Dundlak, Smock Alley Theatre Dublin and the Triskel Arts Centre Cork will hear  be able to here 'Christmas'll Ruin Me' live first.
