The hit music & comedy show The Night Joe Dolan’s Car Broke Down returns to 3Olympia Theatre from 3rd – 7th February 2026

Imagine being stranded with the legendary Joe Dolan in a rural pub in Cavan on the night his car breaks down. That’s just the sort of fantasy scenario that’s imagined in The Night Joe Dolan’s Car Broke Down, written and directed by Padraic McIntyre. The play is set on a stormy St. Stephen’s night as people gather to celebrate the 60th birthday party of the The Horse Munley. As the storm worsens and people head home, a knock to the door brings the night’s entertainment to a new level. As the play unfolds so too does personal secrets, the music and the craic!
