Summer concert season at The Lyric

Some of the events lined up are as follows:

Tim McGarry’s Irish History Lesson: Friday 16th August

Tim McGarry from Give My Head Peace, Hearts and Minds and The Blame Game turns a very satirical eye on Irish History for this solo stand up show. 
Join Tim as he takes a hilarious romp through thousands of years of Irish history and looks at the funny side of invasion, wars, famine and The Troubles.

Tim’s Irish History Lesson is an uproariously irreverent look at everything we think we know about history and everything we hold dear.

He will cover every event from the English invasion to the G8 conference and everyone from Saint Patrick to Jamie Bryson - and he’s guaranteed to make you laugh.

Free A Level with every ticket.
