Jerry Fish

This event has ended

Button Factory, Thursday 28th November

Jerry Fish, indie legend, showman extraordinaire and ringmaster of exceptional renown is back, with his first LP in 15 years. The new album entitled ‘Dreaming of Daniel’ feat. MayKay (Fight Like Apes) is a labour of love for Jerry. Featuring songs by the late, great Daniel Johnston. Scheduled for release in November 2024.

Jerry explains: “I felt compelled to record and release an album of Daniel's work, not alone is his lyrical wit and honesty an inspiration to me and a multitude of artists the world over, we have so much fun performing his songs live. The album ‘Dreaming of Daniel’ captures the joy we experience on stage performing Daniel’s songs, it’s infectious.” Jerry Fish is one of Ireland’s most enigmatic and entertaining performers with his now legendary live shows, a unique live theatrical experience that dissolves all boundaries between performer and audience.

Jerry Fish blasted onto the Music Scene in the 1990's touring the globe as front-man of alternative rock outfit An Emotional Fish, the band who gave us the indie rock anthem “Celebrate”. These days the name Jerry Fish is synonymous with Festivals, Carnival Sideshow, Circus and Theatre. Jerry has curated and run his own Circus tent and area; The Jerry Fish Electric Sideshow in Fish Town at Ireland’s biggest music and arts festival Electric Picnic for the last 12 years.

“Our live performances are a mix of music, theatre and the spirit of the carnival,” says Jerry” Wherever I go, the circus is never far behind.” A true carnival creator, “I am from a long line of clowns and the first to realise it” Jerry’s a natural all-around entertainer; musician, storyteller, dramatist, poet and comic. This winter, join Jerry Fish as he embarks on the Dreaming of Daniel album tour. Performing songs from the new album, alongside a selection of his greatest hits, in a celebration of his unique artistry and the life of one of Ireland’s greatest showmen.
