Ballyrags again returns to Ryde for our February headline show, landing at The Royal Esplanade Hotel on a special one-off date — Thursday 26th February (note: due to hotel events, this replaces our usual third Thursday slot).

Ballyrags Comedy returns to the Esplanade Hotel on Thursday 19th March 2026, bringing another headline stand-up night to Ryde’s most striking comedy room. With a lively crowd, strong drinks, and an atmosphere built for big laughs, this is Ballyrags exactly where it belongs.
