Delving into life's inconsistencies, Gearóid looks at the litany of things in our lives that just don't measure up — everything from his generic-looking cat to Shania Twain.
Gearóid will be examining post-pandemic issues that, after some time sitting on the couch, now are back to real life - trousers instead of tracksuit bottoms, coffee and a biscuit instead of four gin and tonics and half a cheesecake.
He will also explore mental health issues, in addition to masculinity, relationships (sexy stuff as opposed to splitting bills), and how we're living in a time when we can say anything we like, and it becomes the truth.
Gearóid's comedy career got off to a flying start when in the space of a few short weeks, he was a finalist in the prestigious 'So You Think You're Funny?' competition at the Edinburgh Festival and winner of Bulmers Nuthin Butt Funny Newcomer competition at the Bulmers festival in Dublin.
A polished live performer, Gearóid's stand-up appearances for television include "Stand & Deliver", "Tonight With Craig Doyle" and as a guest of Ardal O'Hanlon for Dave's "One Night Stand".
In 2012, he made his solo debut at the Edinburgh Festival with his show "Turbulence", winning a five-star review. He was also invited to support comedy royalty and living legend Joan Rivers for the Dublin dates of her 'Now or Never' tour.
He recently toured the UK as a support act for Sarah Millican and is a regular at all major Irish festivals. Gearóid toured Ireland many times with Neil Delamere in Ireland. He supported Patton Oswalt for his Irish tour dates in 2019.
Gearóid hosts the popular podcast 'Fascinated', where he chats with people he is a big fan of about their careers and work. The series is a must for fans of 90s pop culture.
He has interviewed Grammy Winners, Emmy Winners, Oscar Nominees, Eurovision Winners, Tony Winners, Politicians and Olympians. Last summer, Gearóid interviewed his favourite actress "Cagney and Lacey" star Tyne Daly, on stage at the Galway Film Fleadh.
Gearóid recently was nominated by the public for a GALA Award (Irish LGBT+ Awards) in the Arts and Entertainment category alongside Graham Norton and Mark Feehily from Westlife. Gearóid will be on tour with his new show 'Alchemy" in 2020.
Admissions for the 'Glamour Hammer' comedy show are €20 at The Dock, Carrick-on-Shannon. Tickets are available online at https://www.thedock.ie/whats-on/gear%C3%B3id-farrelly.
