3Arena’s first Irish female comic headliner ... it’s only Joanne McNally!
Today we unleash the news: Joanne McNally is graduating from 3Olympia 23 nights sold out domination and moving up to the big one — headlining 3Arena on 12 December 2026, becoming the first Irish female comic ever to do it. Not bad for someone who still can’t commit to a houseplant.
Fresh from turning Pinotphile into a global stampede and selling out everything from 3Olympia to Cork Opera House, Killarney, Castlebar and Belfast, Joanne is finally ready to take on the room she (accidentally) sold out five nights in with My Therapist Ghosted Me Live — the very venue she once said was ‘far too big for one woman with a microphone and a questionable dating history’.
Turns out… it isn’t.
Expect the full Joanne experience: chaos, confessions, men being roasted alive, women thriving, and at least one moment where she regrets saying a thing out loud but ploughs on anyway. It’s sharp, unfiltered and absolutely not for anyone who thinks ‘Pinotphile’ is a documentary about grapes.
This is her biggest Irish show yet — a night of pure, feral joy to cap off a decade-long glow-up from ‘emerging comedian’ to full-blooded 3Arena headliner. A proper milestone. A proper flex. And she’s bringing every last bit of unhinged energy with her.
