Rosie O'Donnell to premiere new stand-up show Common Knowledge in Dublin
Actor and comedian Rosie O'Donnell has announced her new stand-up show, Common Knowledge, to premiere in Dublin on June 27. It will be her first stand-up show in almost a decade and will focus on her newly adopted hometown, Dublin. The show is a reflection on O'Donnell's move over the pond, the cultural differences that came with it, her family life and 'the humbling and hilarious realisation that maybe you don't have it all figured out.' Common Knowledge is described as being a 'fresh take from a comedy icon, chock full of sharp insight, big laughs and brilliantly personal storytelling.' In March of this year, O'Donnell was a guest on the Late Late Show, where she talked about her move to Ireland and her public feud with Donald Trump, which has been ongoing since 2006. The now 63-year-old actor has won multiple Emmys for her talk show 'The Rosie O'Donnell Show' and has starred in film classics like Sleepless in Seattle and A League of Their Own. Tickets for her new stand-up show go on sale Friday, June 6, at 10 am here.
