Flanagan’s Wake

Grab a pint and enjoy one of the funniest Irish shows that you’ve never heard of!

Experience Theatre Project is proud to bring back this hilarious, mostly improvised Irish comedy that most folks in 2026 proclaimed that it was one of the funniest shows they'd ever seen!

Join the villagers of the beautiful fictional village of Grapplin, County Sligo, Ireland at Mayor O'Doul's bar as they tell tales, sing songs and mourn the passing of one of their own, Flanagan. You'll be transported to the Emerald Isle to grieve as only the Irish can. You can share tales of your own experiences and misadventures with dear old Flanagan or simply enjoy the stories and songs of the locals as they recall life with himself.

Once you have arrived in Grapplin, you'll pay your respects to glowering Mother Flanagan and to poor grieving fiancee, Fiona Finn. Listen to a eulogy written by County Sligo's best-known writer, Mickey Finn, and tip a pint with Brian Ballybunion, himself a weaver of tales. You can cross yourself with the blessings from St. Gregory's parish priest, Father Damon Fitzgerald, or cross your fingers that local pagan Kathleen Mooney doesn't cast a spell on you. Mayor Martin O'Doul will preside over the proceedings with an iron hand (and a parched throat).

This show is an all ages show, though we do recommend ages 12 and up due to mild profanity and adult themes.
