John Mackay & Sally Homer, in association with Debi Allen/Curtis Brown, present
STEWART LEE vs THE MAN-WULF

Bringing his brand new show to Ireland, Lee shares his stage with a tough-talking werewolf comedian from the dark forests of North America who hates humanity. The Man-Wulf lays down a ferocious comedy challenge to the culturally irrelevant and physically enfeebled Lee. Can the beast inside us all be silenced with the silver bullet of Lee’s unprecedentedly critically acclaimed style of stand-up?

Stewart Lee (“The world’s greatest living stand-up comedian” The Times), is in danger of being left behind. He’s approaching sixty with debilitating health conditions, his TV profile has diminished, and his once BAFTA award-winning style of stand-up seems obsolete. But can Lee unleash his inner Man-Wulf to position himself alongside comedy legends like Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais and Jordan Peterson at the forefront of side splitting stadium-stuffing sh*t-posting?

Kyla Cobbler is one of the fastest-rising names in comedy. The Cork-born comic first gained attention through her viral Instagram reels, before stepping on stage for her first open mic in May 2021. Just four years later, she’s built a global following, with over 300,000 Instagram followers, 100M+ video views, and a reputation as a must-see live performer.

Her fearless appearance on The Tommy Tiernan Show in April 2025 catapulted her into the national spotlight, with one viewer calling it “the best interview of the season.” Known for her raw storytelling, razor-sharp crowd work, and unfiltered honesty, Kyla commands the stage with total confidence — every performance is electric, unpredictable, and unforgettable.

On the live circuit, Kyla’s momentum is undeniable. She sold out Cork Opera House in early 2024, followed by a completely sold-out first Irish tour later that year with her debut show, Gone Rogue. In 2025 alone, she has sold out two nights at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre, two nights at Cork Opera House, packed out Leicester Square Theatre in London, and launched her first European headline dates.

This all-action stand-up show explores fresh territory — from finding love to the complexities of family life — delivered with Kyla’s trademark honesty and unapologetic wit.

With a loyal fan base, explosive stage presence, and growing international demand, Kyla Cobbler is not just a rising star — she’s a force to be reckoned with.
