Bloomsday 2025 - Sandycove & Glasthule Village - 'Strolling thru Ulysses"

"Strolling Through Ulysses!" is a one-man show that tells the entertaining story of Bloomsday—June 16th, 1904—the iconic day that James Joyce’s *Ulysses* is based on.

Written and performed by Robert Gogan, "Strolling Through Ulysses!" guides you through the curious events and quirky characters of "Ulysses" in a humorous, entertaining, and informative manner. The performance features extracts from the novel that best illustrate Joyce’s writing—showcasing its comical, descriptive, and complex elements—without compromising the integrity of this great work.

Joyce famously declared that "there is not one serious line in it," and "Strolling Through Ulysses!" certainly proves that!

This show is bawdy, irreverent, and great fun!

So hold onto your hats and take a deep breath as Robert Gogan takes you on a 75-minute whistle-stop tour through the humour and laughter that form the backbone of James Joyce’s extraordinary and celebrated novel.

Robert was awarded the Best Actor award for his performance in "Strolling Through Ulysses!" at the Galway Fringe Festival in 2019.
