Joanne McNally Live in Portland

Irish comedian, Joanne McNally brings Pinotphile to Helium Comedy Club on Tuesday, September 23. INP members get $10 off with code IRISH.

INP Members and board members will gather for happy hour before the show around 5:30pm at the Lucky Lab, 915 SE Hawthorne Blvd Portland.

After the success of her record-breaking tour The Prosecco Express, Joanne returns with her hotly anticipated new stand-up show Pinotphile. Hailed by Variety as One to Watch, McNally has been keeping herself busy by ruining men's lives (and her own) and now she's back; still single, still unfertilised, and laden with irreverent, ridiculous and hilarious war stories.

Join Joanne for a wild ride as she navigates situationships, revenge, frenemies and rejection in her 'Terrifyingly funny' (London Evening Standard) and 'Joyously nuts’ (Irish Examiner) trademark style. With her last stand-up show crowned Ticketmaster IE’s Comedy Event of the Year, Pinotphile is destined for a similar future.

She's the co-host of award-winning podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me, and with riotous appearances on Taskmaster, The Jonathan Ross Show and The Big Fat Quiz of Everything, Joanne also hosts the hugely successful BBC Sounds series Joanne McNally Investigates: Who Replaced Avril Lavigne and Do Furbys Spy On Us?
