Paddy Cullivan returns with "I can't believe it's not Ireland"

Join Paddy Cullivan on a hilariously insightful journey through the history of partition and the Ireland of the future.

Imagine this. It’s 2032. The people have spoken on both sides of the border and Ireland is a brand new 32-county country.

There’s a new flag. A new anthem. There’s even a new capital! As Unionists holiday in the south, discovering the imperial joys of ‘Royal’ Dublin — southerners discover the ancient landscape of Ulster beyond the retail outlets of Newry and Titanic Belfast.

Magical things happen when you create a new country — where everything is on the table — and its exciting.

Leave all your preconceptions at the door. It’s not a United Ireland. It’s not an ‘agreed’ Ireland.

It’s not ‘shared’ — nor is it ‘new’. It’s simply- ‘I can’t believe it’s not Ireland’! But first…we have to get there….

Paddy has performed his sold-out historical entertainments all over Ireland and beyond. Storyboarded documentaries in waiting.

He presents political and aesthetic narratives from past and present in a new and exciting way incorporating songs, imagery and a unique, passionate insight.

I can’t believe it’s not Ireland will be staged at the Riverbank Arts Centre on Friday, May 24 at 8pm. Tickets cost €18 and can be booked through the Box Office, either in person or by telephone on 045 448327 Monday to Friday 9.30am-5pm (closed for lunch 2-2.30) and Saturday 10am-1pm.
