Colin Murphy's biggest comedy tour to date 'Whatchamacolin' takes in all corners of Northern Ireland

With his last tour ‘Colinization’ a sell out, and ticket sales for the new 2023 shows disappearing rapidly, there’s no doubt Colin has a considerable following of fans.

The popular stand-up comedian, TV presenter, writer and actor has been an almost permanent fixture on television screens all over Ireland for more than two decades.

Starting out in the early nineties in the Empire Laughs Back Comedy Club and the Queen’s Comedy Club in Belfast, Colin has played the Edinburgh festival many times and all the major comedy festival in the world including Melbourne, Montreal, New York, Dublin and Kilkenny.

As well as taking his stand-up show to all corners of the globe, he has starred in 20 series of the topical news BBC comedy show The Blame Game, hosted Great Unanswered Questions, acted in BAFTA-winning People Like Us, been a team captain on panel show Clear History, made more than 100 appearances on the hugely popular, multi IFTA award nominated show The Panel, plus hosted and co-wrote six series of the cult classic show Blizzard of Odd on RTE.

Colin is also an artist and has had his work exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin and the Royal Ulster Academy in Belfast.

His new tour promises to be “a show full of pin perfect observations, self-righteous indignation and a bit of swearing”.
