Comedian reveals Kildare dates - and one show is sold out already

Award-winning comedian Al Porter has announced Kildare dates for his much-anticipated new stand-up show ‘ALGORITHM’ which begins at the end of August in Naas and finishes in February 2026 in Offaly (dates below). Al will take the show to The Moat, Naas, on 29^th and 30^th August for two unforgettable performances!

Al Porter’s ‘ALGORITHM’ delivers a candid, energetic and fun loving look at everyday life for the thirty two year old Tallaght man. From asking such pertinent questions as “how do you cope with your parents empty nest syndrome?” to “how in god’s name do you godparent a German?”.

Al is one of the few Irish comics to have been nominated for a Perrier Award (like Tommy Tiernan and Dylan Moran before him) and in 2023 in Edinburgh he picked up the Spirit of the Fringe Award from Fringe Legend Mervyn Stutter.

Al says of this new show,“This show came about because the algorithms on my social media were consistently nudging me and my partner to get assessed! And it got me thinking! How are algorithms shaping our life? Most of us encounter them every day on social media. It’s become a buzz word and everybody’s got a pretty good idea of how they work! Maybe this can also give us a deeper understanding of ourselves — what do I engage with in my own life? They’re a mirror to our highs, lows, loves and hates! So, can we crack a formula for happy living in a complicated world? Sounds serious, but that’s the point — it doesn’t have to be! Just like our feed, in life, we see more of what we pay attention to, so maybe we can be looking for the funny side!”

This follows up Al’s comeback tour in 2023/4, which was a show about recovery, redemption and a lot more besides. Chortle gave that show four stars saying it was “Gloriously upbeat. no self-pity…irrepressible stand-up storytelling…a powerhouse comeback”.
