Kevin Twomey and PJ Kirby, the duo behind the uber-successful podcast I’m Grand Mam, have announced a brand new live show set to tour Ireland next year.
That’s right, girlies, our favourite queers shared details of the live show on their social media channels this week, and we have it on good authority that it’s set to be a very camp affair. Literally.
In a post on Instagram, Kevin and PJ shared the poster for the 2026 tour, which is titled Happy Campers. In the artwork, the duo are dressed in scouting uniforms as they clutch a map of Ireland.
“Grab your compass girlies and lace up your hiking boots because we are trekking across Ireland in our new show ‘Happy Campers’ in 2026,” the pair wrote in the caption.

The tour kicks off on March 21, and girlies in the Kingdom will be the first to see these Happy Campers in the Gleneagle, Killarney. From there, the duo will head north for a performance in the Ulster Hall, Belfast on Friday, March 27.
Next up, the duo will be playing two hometown gigs in the Cork Opera House on April 2 and 3 – they are just boys from Cork, after all. They will then pop by Galway for a gig in Leisureland on April 18, before Happy Campers concludes with not one, but two gigs in Dublin’s 3Olympia.
The duo have also teased a return to the UK and Australia, with dates to be announced soon.
If you’ve yet to familiarise yourself with the wonderful world of I’m Grand Mam, then buckle up because you’ve got over 200 hysterical episodes waiting for you. In each episode, Kevin and PJ take a deep dive into a different topic and parse through it with their undeniable charm and sense of humour. The research is solid, the jokes are free-flowing, but the pair are also unafraid to get vulnerable and handle heavier topics with the sensitivity they deserve.
You can listen to I’m Grand Mam wherever you get your podcasts, and tickets for their Happy Campers tour are on sale this Thursday at 10am via Ticketmaster.
