Kyla Cobbler: Not My Lemons

Kyla Cobbler is one of the fastest-rising names in comedy. The Cork-born comic first gained attention through her viral Instagram reels, before stepping on stage for her first open mic in May 2021. Just four years later, she’s built a global following, with over 300,000 Instagram followers, 100M+ video views, and a reputation as a must-see live performer.

Her fearless appearance on The Tommy Tiernan Show in April 2025 catapulted her into the national spotlight, with one viewer calling it “the best interview of the season.” Known for her raw storytelling, razor-sharp crowd work, and unfiltered honesty, Kyla commands the stage with total confidence — every performance is electric, unpredictable, and unforgettable.

On the live circuit, Kyla’s momentum is undeniable. She sold out Cork Opera House in early 2024, followed by a completely sold-out first Irish tour later that year with her debut show, Gone Rogue. In 2025 alone, she has sold out two nights at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre, two nights at Cork Opera House, packed out Leicester Square Theatre in London, and launched her first European headline dates.

Not My Lemons is an all-new hour of stand-up comedy explores fresh territory — from finding love to the complexities of family life — delivered with Kyla's trademark honesty and unapologetic wit.

With a loyal fanbase, explosive stage presence, and growing international demand, Kyla Cobbler is not just a rising star — she’s a force to be reckoned with.

Jazz at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis

This performance is part of Wynton Marsalis’ final season as Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center and Music Director of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra

Jazz at the Lincoln Center is a beacon for the preservation and development of Jazz in the world. The mission of Jazz at Lincoln Center is to entertain, enrich and expand a global community for jazz through performance, education, and advocacy. Because jazz is swinging, it dedicates that freedom to finding and maintaining common ground with others. Because jazz is rooted in the blues, it inspires us to face adversity with persistent optimism.

Wynton Marsalis is a world-renowned trumpeter, bandleader, composer, and a leading advocate of American culture. He presently serves as Managing and Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Director of Jazz Studies at The Juilliard School, and President of the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation.

Marsalis has been called the “Pied Piper” of jazz and the “Doctor of Swing.” Since his recording debut in 1982, he has released 127 jazz, classical and alternative recordings and won many awards, from a home cooked meal to honors that require a tuxedo. He regularly performs in the most prestigious concert halls and is known to play until all hours of the morning in the most inconspicuous local clubs. From the very beginning of his career, education has been vital to his mission. He has taught and mentored a voluminous number of musicians who have gone on to play, teach and advocate in their own brilliant ways. Through these relationships Marsalis has ensured that the legacy of jazz music will continue to propagate for generations to come.

Over the past four decades, Marsalis has rekindled and animated widespread international interest in jazz through performances, educational activities, books, curricula, and relentless advocacy on public platforms. Today, Marsalis continues the renaissance that he sparked in the early 1980s, attracting new generations of young talent to jazz and illuminating the mythic meanings of jazz fundamentals.

Marsalis performs and composes across the entire spectrum of jazz and has written jazz-influenced chamber music and symphonic works for revered classical ensembles across the US and abroad. He is inspired to experiment in an ever-widening palette of forms and concepts thatconstitutesome of the most advanced thinking in modern jazz and in American music on a broad scale.

"The swing outfit brought silk, style and exquisite sleaze" –John Fordham, The Guardian

"There is no holding back Wynton Marsalis" –Richard Fairman, The Financial Times

"Time and again Marsalis played with wonderful clarity and lyricism" –London Jazz News

Jack & The Beanstalk Relaxed Performance

Presented by Robert C Kelly & University Concert Hall. 
Proudly sponsored by Specsavers Limerick.

In our relaxed performance, there will be fewer sudden noises, fewer flashing lights, and more space between seats, creating a comfortable environment for all. 

Get ready to climb dazzling new heights with the spectacular family pantomime Jack & the Beanstalk at UCH!

UCH and Producer Robert C Kelly are once again bringing the magic of Panto, with the daring adventures of Jack, some magical beans, a rather confused cow and a not–so–friendly Giant.

Join a stellar cast, featuring returning UCH Panto favourites, along with some new faces, for this classic pantomime story.

When Jack swaps the family cow for a handful of mysterious beans, he has no idea the adventure that’s about to sprout! With the help of his friends, Jack must climb the towering beanstalk to outwit the fearsome Giant, rescue the village, and maybe even win the heart of the fair maiden along the way. But will good triumph over greedy giants? There’s only one way to find out!

Our Jack & the Beanstalk pantomime will be brought spectacularly to life in a breath taking production packed with laugh-out-loud comedy, jaw-dropping sets, fabulous costumes, and chart-topping hits. 

This is a family Panto, with some loud noises and theatrical fog, haze effects and other special effects, along with a few scary moments, a bit of panto innuendo (never intended to offend) – and some very silly jokes!

Children aged 2 and under may go free, provided they sit on a guardian's lap. Please collect a Babe in Arms ticket from the Box Office on arrival.

A limited number of booster seats for younger children will be available at the venue on a first come, first served basis.

Due to the complexity of our Panto set, restricted view seats may provide only a partial view of the overall stage. They may also have a compromised audio-visual experience due to the positioning of speakers and lights.

No buggies, prams, car seats or child carriers permitted in the auditorium.
