Jarlath Regan - "Gas Man"
A BRAND NEW Standup Show From “Yer Man” Off Instagram.
Ireland’s favourite comedian/Mammy translator, Jarlath Regan returns to the stage with a brand new show for 2026. The world knows and loves him for his hilarious daily clips, now it’s time for you to see this Gas Man in person. Jarlath Regan’s brand new 2026 standup comedy show is packed to the gills with his unique brand of spot on observational standup material and ridiculous stories. “Prepare to cry with laughter” (The Post)Following millions of views and a sell out world tour, Jarlath is making good on his promise to bring his audience a brand spanking new show every single year. Now is your opportunity to grab a ticket.
We are all going to need a laugh in 2026 and Jarlath is here to deliver it. In this world of unending negativity, bleakness and cynicism there’s never been a better time to come and escape from it all for a night of quality laughs courtesy of “the jewel in Ireland’s comedy crown” (The Examiner).
Jarlath first burst into the public consciousness in 2023 when his Instagram and TikTok videos took the world by storm. Patrick Kielty dubbed him “A comedy master at work”. The Irish Times refers to him as a “comedy genius”. Audiences can’t get enough. Jarlath’s last tour was a sell out across America including 5 nights at the legendary Gramercy Theatre off Broadway. In 2025 the Kildare man travelled globe and won the hearts of audiences across Canada, Australia, the U.K. and Ireland. His January residency at Dublin’s 3Olympia has now become a fixture in the comedy calendar.
Last year he promised us a brand new show for 2026. Even his wife struggled to believe he could do it but somehow he has. Gas Man features 90 minutes of jokes and stories never before seen on stage or screen. If you like your comedy smart, sharp, warm and searingly funny, then this is the show for you.
“I forgot what it felt like to cry in public, through laughter” - The Irish Post.
“Universally enjoyable – 90 minutes of jaw-achingly funny anecdotes which spanned every topic imaginable.” - The Post
“A subtle yet sublime helping of observational wit” The Herald ★★★★★
“Downright hilarious…comedy genius” The Irish Times ★★★★★
“Had the audience shaking so violently with laughter they probably could have charged their phones” Edinburgh Festivals Magazine
“Regan is an expert storyteller and this is a beautifully constructed show that I could have happily listened to for twice its length.” ★★★★ The Arts Desk

This story is a cleverly crafted 7-step self-help program. Born in Steinbach - the Mennonite Mecca of Manitoba - and raised in the Winnipeg suburbs, Banman struggles throughout her life to stay on the straight and narrow.
Join her as she recounts the trials and tribulations of growing up in an evangelical Mennonite home with a mother whose own refugee experiences have a lasting effect.
“Banman’s storytelling is highly personal, yet also hits on many broader truths that will resonate with anyone who has fought with their upbringing, endured shame-soaked love, or found themselves having a breakdown in a staff meeting.” - Kingston Theatre Alliance

The Crown Witness Does Stand-Up is a dark, funny solo show from Winnipeg comedian Jeff Gobeil.
After reporting his childhood abuser to police, Jeff finds himself doing something he never expected: testifying in court. As the trial unfolds, Jeff processes the experience the only way he knows how -- through comedy.
Blending courtroom testimony and stand-up, Jeff tells the story of trauma, survival, and what it means to finally speak up. The show is his victim impact statement in action. Part cross-examination, part stand-up and part inner monologue. This is a story about truth, resilience and finding your voice.

Babel retells the ancient story of people who tried to build a tower to heaven, for a world still driven to build higher and faster.
Geräuschbiest’s brotherly harmonies carry the story, shaped by purpose-made new instruments, while the Riel Gentlemen’s Choir becomes a chorus of workers building a tower live onstage, and singing the thrill of human ingenuity.
At first, they move as one. But as ambition grows, that unity begins to crack. When language starts to fracture, the structure, and the people holding it together, begin to unravel in real time.
From the creators of Dreams of Nebuchadnezzar (2023), Babel is a visually striking, one-of-a-kind live experience.

Set in Winnipeg The Glass Between Us follows two women who never see each other yet form a friendship that transforms them both. Having left an abusive marriage, Kate decides to venture into the unpredictable and often hilarious world of online dating. On the neighbouring balcony is Marge, an older woman who offers sharp wit and steady wisdom to their daily balcony conversations.
Through bad dates and brave truth-telling, small triumphs unfold. As Kate learns that promising profiles are not always rooted in reality, she also discovers that when we dare to speak, we dare to heal. Tough like a daisy, the play explores resilience, self-discovery and how friendships can give us the encouragement to bloom again.

An exploration of fatherhood, identity and legacy through the story of a man shaped by loss and violence. Facing trauma and addiction, he chooses love and music to break the cycle and become the father he never had.
Through a mirror narrative of failure and transformation, one path reveals the cost of not changing, while the other reveals what change makes possible. At its heart, it asks: what do we carry forward, and what do we choose to leave behind?
What audiences are saying:
“A raw, honest look at fatherhood and the weight of legacy.”
“Poignant, powerful, and deeply human.”
“Heartbreaking in its truth. Hopeful in its courage.”

The Crown Witness Does Stand-Up is a dark, funny solo show from Winnipeg comedian Jeff Gobeil.
After reporting his childhood abuser to police, Jeff finds himself doing something he never expected: testifying in court. As the trial unfolds, Jeff processes the experience the only way he knows how -- through comedy.
Blending courtroom testimony and stand-up, Jeff tells the story of trauma, survival, and what it means to finally speak up. The show is his victim impact statement in action. Part cross-examination, part stand-up and part inner monologue. This is a story about truth, resilience and finding your voice.

This story is a cleverly crafted 7-step self-help program. Born in Steinbach - the Mennonite Mecca of Manitoba - and raised in the Winnipeg suburbs, Banman struggles throughout her life to stay on the straight and narrow.
Join her as she recounts the trials and tribulations of growing up in an evangelical Mennonite home with a mother whose own refugee experiences have a lasting effect.
“Banman’s storytelling is highly personal, yet also hits on many broader truths that will resonate with anyone who has fought with their upbringing, endured shame-soaked love, or found themselves having a breakdown in a staff meeting.” - Kingston Theatre Alliance

An exploration of fatherhood, identity and legacy through the story of a man shaped by loss and violence. Facing trauma and addiction, he chooses love and music to break the cycle and become the father he never had.
Through a mirror narrative of failure and transformation, one path reveals the cost of not changing, while the other reveals what change makes possible. At its heart, it asks: what do we carry forward, and what do we choose to leave behind?
What audiences are saying:
“A raw, honest look at fatherhood and the weight of legacy.”
“Poignant, powerful, and deeply human.”
“Heartbreaking in its truth. Hopeful in its courage.”
Director: Andrew Davidson
Cast: Tim Hogue

Babel retells the ancient story of people who tried to build a tower to heaven, for a world still driven to build higher and faster.
Geräuschbiest’s brotherly harmonies carry the story, shaped by purpose-made new instruments, while the Riel Gentlemen’s Choir becomes a chorus of workers building a tower live onstage, and singing the thrill of human ingenuity.
At first, they move as one. But as ambition grows, that unity begins to crack. When language starts to fracture, the structure, and the people holding it together, begin to unravel in real time.
From the creators of Dreams of Nebuchadnezzar (2023), Babel is a visually striking, one-of-a-kind live experience.

Set in Winnipeg The Glass Between Us follows two women who never see each other yet form a friendship that transforms them both. Having left an abusive marriage, Kate decides to venture into the unpredictable and often hilarious world of online dating. On the neighbouring balcony is Marge, an older woman who offers sharp wit and steady wisdom to their daily balcony conversations.
Through bad dates and brave truth-telling, small triumphs unfold. As Kate learns that promising profiles are not always rooted in reality, she also discovers that when we dare to speak, we dare to heal. Tough like a daisy, the play explores resilience, self-discovery and how friendships can give us the encouragement to bloom again.

An exploration of fatherhood, identity and legacy through the story of a man shaped by loss and violence. Facing trauma and addiction, he chooses love and music to break the cycle and become the father he never had.
Through a mirror narrative of failure and transformation, one path reveals the cost of not changing, while the other reveals what change makes possible. At its heart, it asks: what do we carry forward, and what do we choose to leave behind?
What audiences are saying:
“A raw, honest look at fatherhood and the weight of legacy.”
“Poignant, powerful, and deeply human.”
“Heartbreaking in its truth. Hopeful in its courage.”
Director: Andrew Davidson
Cast: Tim Hogue

The Crown Witness Does Stand-Up is a dark, funny solo show from Winnipeg comedian Jeff Gobeil.
After reporting his childhood abuser to police, Jeff finds himself doing something he never expected: testifying in court. As the trial unfolds, Jeff processes the experience the only way he knows how -- through comedy.
Blending courtroom testimony and stand-up, Jeff tells the story of trauma, survival, and what it means to finally speak up. The show is his victim impact statement in action. Part cross-examination, part stand-up and part inner monologue. This is a story about truth, resilience and finding your voice.
