Joanne McNally Makes History as First Irish Female Comic to Headline 3Arena

Joanne McNally has made a significant announcement, revealing that she will become the first Irish female comedian to headline Dublin’s 3Arena. Her show, titled Pinotphile, is scheduled for December 12, 2026. This milestone marks a historic moment for McNally and the Irish comedy scene, as the venue is the largest indoor arena in Ireland.

McNally, known for her popular podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me, will take the stage in a performance that promises to be her biggest yet. Organisers highlighted her journey, noting her transition from an “emerging comedian” to a full-fledged headliner at such a prestigious venue. This transformation reflects her decade-long growth in the entertainment industry.

Tickets for the highly anticipated show will be available for general sale starting at 11:00 AM on November 28, 2026, through Ticketmaster. Fans can access a presale starting on November 26 at 11:00 AM via MCD. Prices begin at €41.90, which includes booking and facility fees, with a service charge of 12.5 percent applicable per ticket.

As part of her ongoing Pinotphile tour, McNally has already achieved remarkable success, selling out 23 nights at Dublin’s 3Olympia. After captivating audiences in venues such as Cork Opera House, Killarney, Castlebar, and Belfast, she now prepares to tackle the 3Arena, a venue she once described as “far too big for one woman with a microphone and a questionable dating history.”

In addition to her solo performances, McNally previously sold out five nights of the My Therapist Ghosted Me Live tour alongside Vogue Williams in 2023. Her ability to connect with audiences and draw large crowds has firmly established her as a leading figure in the Irish comedy landscape.

Joanne McNally’s upcoming performance at the 3Arena not only highlights her personal achievements but also serves as a pivotal moment for female comedians in Ireland. As she prepares for this landmark event, her fans eagerly anticipate an evening filled with laughter and insight.
