Three comics. Three crises. One stage.
Jay fell into comedy by accident three years ago and hasn’t looked back—manic, upbeat, sometimes educational, Jay wants to keep comedy queer and weird. Meghan, your friendly neighbourhood meme queen, is serving thirty minutes of uncensored, unhinged shenanigans as she questions sincerity (and her entire comedic identity) on the cusp of turning thirty. And Heather? Heather has been leaving people North and South of the border in stitches since 2019 with her chaotic approach to everything from dating to simply being alive in this world.
Together, they’re bringing honesty, crisis, and queer-fuelled comedy to Accidental Theatre, because figuring yourself out is funnier in public.
“Echoes of a Mind” is a somber, introspective short film that explores the quiet weight of mental struggle through one sleepless night. With a muted, dreamlike tone, it captures the haunting disconnect between outward presence and inner silence.
Monthly experimental music night in Belfast. Short sets, time to chat, space to move. First Thursday each month!
Gloriously Unhinged. Ridiculously Funny. Brutally Honest.
The first Friday of every month.
Tired of safe comedy nights where every punchline feels like it’s been filtered through HR? Good. So are we.
Welcome to Accidental’s Comedy Club — the monthly meltdown of madness, where the misfits own the mic, the weirdos rule the room, and no topic is too taboo. It’s comedy turned up to eleven, where awkward is a compliment and WTF is part of the charm.
A first visit to Belfast, and a band with a minimum of 6 members – might be 8…could be 10 – we are delighted to welcome Trá Pháidín!
Somewhere halfway between a Showband, a céilí band and an elastic band is where you'll find Trá Pháidín.
There is no word that they haven't yet used to make themselves appeal more to the public like jazz with traditional music with kosmiche but, recently they were given a fair and just title:
"Tony Allen and Andy Irvine in an elevator" (Fella in the Bierhaus, Galway 4/5/2024)
Three unique, queer voices on the Belfast scene come together for one night in the Accidental Theatre!
They are exactly what your right-wing uncle has warned you against!
In other words... Fabulous!!!
Two of the city’s finest comedy exports, Darren McCay and Max Roddy, join forces for a one-off joint headline show packed with laughs, stories, and all the sharp Derry wit you can handle.
Mrs Smith was an ordinary teacher in an ordinary school until she went viral on Facebook and accidentally became a stand up comedian.
1,2,3, Eyes on Me! is the follow up to her sell-out show of 2023 that debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe.
John Devlin and The Revolvers + Guests return to Accidental after their sold-out show!
It's BYO folks so roll up for an evening of spectacular original music from three of Belfast's finest original acts.
Impressionist, Comedian, Actor, Host and Voice Over Artist. Cal Halbert is also one half of 'The Mimic Men'. The UK's only impressionist double act! Performing on Britain's Got Talent in 2016 and gaining four yeses accompanied by a standing ovation by the judges, audience and Ant and Dec.
Belfast's favourite cult comedy cabaret is back... this year with an absolute dream (or should I say nightmare) of a show.
With live music, comedy, bizarreness, special guests, and prizes to be won.
Come and join your (g)host with the most, Sir Arthur Chichester (Dan Leith) as he presents an evening of fiendish festive fun.
