Special Event: David Nihill: The Shelf Help Tour

Join comedian Dave Nihill for a night of real Irish comedy. Accent included.

Dave left Dublin, Ireland, where he was born and raised, at 22, and got drunk on travel, never quite getting sober from it. He has lived and worked in twelve countries and visited over seventy. His shows draw on his wide travels, cultural observations, attempts at language study, (occasional) international drinking session(s), and being a mildly confused immigrant in the US.

Dave is the winner of the prestigious annual "San Francisco Comedy Competition," (previous finalists include Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres and Dana Carvey) and runner up in the "Moth’s Largest US Grandslam Storytelling Competition." He recorded his debut special for Dry Bar Comedy in 2019 and has been featured on TED.com, Amazon Prime Video, The Irish Independent, Inc, Sirius XM, NPR, Ireland AM, Pat Kenny, and the Huffington Post among others. Dave is a festival favorite and his videos have also gone viral many times over with over 100 million views and a social following of over 700,000 people.

Instead of a drink minimum, we have a two-item per person minimum in the Showroom, which can be fulfilled with any food or drink items from the menu.

Please Note: Food and drinks purchased in the bar and lounge do not count towards the two-item minimum.


  • General Admission seating is assigned on a first-come, first-sat basis as you enter the showroom. The earlier you arrive, the better your seats will be.

  • Reserved seats are assigned for you by management on the night of the show. They are the best seats available for your party size at the time they are assigned.

Please Note: We do not take seating requests and cannot guarantee seats in a specific location.


  • While we cannot guarantee seats together, General admission groups should arrive at least 45 minutes before showtime and enter the showroom as a group for the best chance of being seated together.

  • Reserved groups who purchase tickets in a single order will automatically be assigned seating together. Reserved ticket holders who purchase separately are not guaranteed seating together. Please see your email confirmation for details if your group purchased separately.

Please Note: Your group must enter the showroom together to be seated together. In addition, we do not take seating requests and cannot guarantee you seats in a specific location.
