When is Roddy Doyle's Two Pints coming to Dublin and how can I get tickets?

Roddy Doyle’s smash hit show Two Pints is coming to Dublin this summer and we’re buzzing.

After hugely successful performances in pubs across Ireland and a US and UK tour, Two Pints will be playing at The Olympia Theatre from August 18 to August 29.

Tickets for the show are now on sale from €26 via Ticketmaster.

Speaking about the inspiration behind Two Pints Roddy Doyle said:  “I sat in the kitchen one evening and, feeling as if I was just about to press a button and perhaps destroy the world, I opened a Facebook account. I was a bit mystified at first and I didn't really know what to do with it.

“Then Obama and the Queen of England came to Dublin, and there was a bit of merriment and giddiness around the place that had been absent since the collapse of the economy, and it was great.

“So I just imagined these two men, slightly older than myself, sitting at a bar and chatting about it. I posted it on Facebook and the reaction was terrific.”

Liam Carney and Philip Judge will be back for their respective roles with director Caitriona McLaughlin.
