Mario Rosenstock to kick off nationwide tour in Athlone

A major Irish tour by funnyman Mario Rosenstock will get underway in Athlone's Radisson Blu Hotel tomorrow (Friday) night.

The show has proven very popular with locals, as the Radisson has sold all of its allocation of tickets, which were retailing at €35.

At the time of writing it also appeared that there were no tickets left for the gig on the Ticketmaster website.

The star of 'Gift Grub' on Today FM, Rosenstock is renowned for his satirical humour and spot-on impersonations.

His show is expected to tackle subject matter that includes the Olympics, Brexit, and Donald Trump.

Following the Athlone date, the tour will move on to Ennis, Kilkenny, Carrick on Shannon, Sligo, Drogheda, Carlow, Killarney, and Cavan, before concluding in Galway next month.
