David O’Doherty gig IMPORTANT UPDATE
So unfortunately David has to go over to America and teach a Zumba class in the White House BUT the show must go on so we have the wonderful Al Porter, who just sold out 3 nights in Vicar Street, in as a very able, funny, David O’Doherty replacement.
Anyone who already bought a ticket for the gig can use it for the Al Porter show which will be on same time/date/venue OR you can get a full refund from the SU Office Monday-Friday 10am-5pm (up until 1pm on Monday 13th April)
Tickets for Al Porter are €5 for 8pm Monday 13th April in the O’Flaherty Theatre.
David will be back to us in September to play an apology show.
