A Taste of Ireland – The Irish Music & Dance Sensation
Direct from Off-Broadway and London’s West End, the internationally acclaimed A Taste of Ireland Company comes to the USA with its flagship production — ‘A Taste of Ireland — The Irish Music & Dance Sensation’. Laugh, cry, and jig into the night with a production that is Celtic, for this generation. Performed by former World Irish dance champions, and featuring dancers from Lord of the Dance, Riverdance, and the recent West End cast of Éireann, ‘A Taste of Ireland’ brings the spirit and energy of modern Ireland to life with a pint of Irish wit. Watch world-class performers blend melodic folk mash-ups, live jaw-dropping acapella tap battles, and heartfelt storytelling in a live celebration of Irish music and dance. Featuring revamped classics of Danny Boy, Tell Me Ma, Wild Rover, and many more well-known songs, the show’s reimagined contemporary score blossoms alongside the brash Irish charm of the live dance cast. ‘A Taste of Ireland’ merges cultural traditions, modern flair, and craic galore to deliver a performance that has been leaving audiences across the globe jigging on their feet for the last decade. Wherever audiences come from, the show finds them. For those who have travelled to Ireland, it is a view that reaches back across the Atlantic. For those whose parents or grandparents carried a few songs and stories with them, it is a heritage felt, not described. And for those who have never thought of themselves as Irish at all, it is the kind of night that leaves them feeling as though there has been a little Irish in them all along. A Taste of Ireland is exactly what it promises: a taste of everything you love about Ireland, with a generous helping of more, and having gathered a social following of over 400,000 and growing, it has, and continues to, win over audiences across the globe. With a strictly limited US run, see A Taste of Ireland in 2027 before it takes off around the globe once again. Find a seat, bring a loved one, and for two hours, lose yourself in A Taste of Ireland. ** Please note: musical instruments are subject to change from performance to performance ___________________________________________________________________________________ If you or a member of your party requires ADA seating, please call us at 417-863-9491 to reserve your seats.

His debut Netflix special, Nostalgic, premiered globally on March 10th and landed a spot in the Top 10 shows in the U.S. with rave reviews.

Jimmy Carr: Killing Jokes
In comedy, ‘killing’ is a good thing. Everywhere else, it’s frowned upon. Jimmy has confirmed kills in over 50 countries and on 13 specials. Eyewitnesses describe it as ‘a brutal, hilarious, life affirming night out’. The brand-new show is packed with fast, dark one-liners about all kinds of terrible things. But they are just jokes. They’re not the terrible things. Jokes are like magnets. They attract some people and repel others. You can joke about anything, but not with anyone. If you’re attracted to Jimmy’s brand of comedy and think you can take the jokes, then by all means come out and play. If you think you’d be offended, then stay away. At this point, being offended at a Jimmy Carr show is like buying a ticket to a horror movie and complaining you got scared. Don’t be a dummy. Look, if you’ve read this far, we know you want to come. So hurry up and buy a ticket. It’ll sell out, so don’t miss out.

Fresh off the release of Magic Lover—Netflix’s first-ever magic comedy special—Justin Willman is hitting the road with an all-new tour: One for the Ages. Willman is best known as the star and creator of Netflix’s Magic for Humans and Magic Prank Show, where his signature mix of mind-blowing magic and relatable humor has made him a streaming favorite, a viral hit (1 billion views and counting), and a fan favorite for families, comedy lovers, and skeptics alike. He’s appeared on The Tonight Show, The Today Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and Conan, and was recently named “Stage Magician of the Year” by the Magic Castle.

Charlie Berens: The Lost and Found Tour
CHARLIE BERENS is Wisconsin’s most popular stand-up comedian and he’s best known for creating feel-good, Midwest-focused comedy like his popular local news series “The Manitowoc Minute,” his two specials, and podcasts, “Bellied Up” and “The Cripescast” which have garnered 12M+ FOLLOWERS and 3B+ VIEWS. He’s the New York Times Best-Selling Author of “The Midwest Survival Guide,” an Emmy-winning journalist, and a Billboard-topping bluegrass musician. Charlie’s many things to many people, but at his core, his comedy comes from growing up in a big family – he’s one of twelve – taking pride in being a DIY-er, ice fishing and gambling with his grandma. While grounded in Midwest culture, Charlie’s stand-up tours consistently land on a national level, selling over 400K tickets in 113 cities in 32 states and included 9 ARENA SHOWS in the past 4 years. He works with many of Wisconsin’s homegrown brands, charities, and sports teams and he reaches people most comedians don’t — heavily rural, spanning multiple generations, and straddling both sides of the political spectrum. He has been the face of Wisconsin’s Annual Food for the Holidays Campaign for the past four years and lately, he’s been advocating for Wisconsinites against A.I. data centers and found himself squaring off with tech giants and politicians like a modern-day Erin Brockovich. Wisconsin gave Charlie a voice and now he’s giving back. He recently launched his very own brandy, Berens Old Fashioned Brandy, which was named after his Grandpa Bob, because naming it after himself would’ve been egotistical. Plus, his latest EPK ______________________________________________________________________________________ If you or a member of your party requires ADA seating, please call us at 417-863-9491 to reserve your seats.
