Dublin comedian Joanne McNally turned up to the completely wrong place for her gig last night
THEATRE OWNERS, A cautionary tale about naming your space something distinctive lies within.
RollingNews.ie RollingNews.ie
Republic of Telly’s Joanne McNally was due to perform at the Black Box theatre last night and, knowing that there is a Black Box in Galway, went there yesterday to set up.
When she arrived, however, she couldn’t find any of the people she was supposed to meet, and the staff had absolutely no knowledge of any Joanne McNally gigs happening in the theatre that night.
Joanne told DailyEdge.ie:
She rang the organisers, and they all quickly discovered something crucial: There are two Black Box theatres in Ireland. One in Galway, where Joanne was, and one in Belfast, where the gig was. AAGGHH.

Joanne and the organisers debated on whether or not they should delay the gig so she could drive up to Belfast:
Luckily, harpist Ursula Burns was able to step in and perform in Joanne’s place, tickets were refunded, and the mix-up proved to be a bit of comedy in itself, so all was well.
Joanne has promised to actually be in the right place for her next show, Wine Tamer, which is in Whelan’s on February 2. Good woman Joanne.
