Mentalist and brain hacker Keith Barry has announced a brand new show packed with mind-reading, audience participation and laughter.
Tickets for his magical, mystical and emotional mentalism show ‘Reconnected’ go on sale this Friday at 9am.
Known as the world’s leading TV hypnotist, his live show will take place at the Gleneagle INEC Arena on January 2.
Has there ever been a more appropriate title for a tour than ‘Reconnected’? Keith Barry’s last live show was on March 7, 2020 where he played to a packed 3Olympia theatre, ending the show with a loud, raucous standing ovation. The next day he began writing ‘Reconnected’ and now the show is going on tour across Ireland.
In addition to developing this brand new theatrical experience in 2020, Keith Barry also wrote his first book ‘Brain Hacks’ and it is set to be published in October. He also made his seventh appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show last year as well as connecting thousands of people all over the world with his highly acclaimed virtual shows and he now aims to do the same in person with you!
Tickets go on sale this Friday at 9am from www.inec.ie and Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.ie, www.keithbarry.com, and www.mcd.ie.

Many significant business deals were signed at this year’s Meitheal – Ireland’s largest and most important trade event for the tourism industry.
Held in the INEC, 450 Irish businesses pitched to over 230 international buyers from 17 countries at Fáilte Ireland’s flagship trade event.
Running since 1975, Meitheal is organised in partnership with Tourism Ireland to provide Irish tourism businesses with the opportunity to sell directly to top international buyers and tour operators.
The best of what is on offer across Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands, Ireland’s Ancient East, the Wild Atlantic Way and Dublin, were showcased with the aim of being scheduled on the itineraries of the global tour operators.
Key themes and trends emerging this year are sustainable travel options, immersive outdoor experiences and festivals.
Speaking about the importance of developing a future pipeline of tourism business, Paul Kelly, CEO of Fáilte Ireland, said that “creating a strong pipeline of future business is key for the recovery of tourism”.
“Seeing the demand for the Irish tourism product with international buyers at Meitheal is fantastic. Each international buyer represents tens of thousands of possible visitors to Ireland, and their business will be hugely important for tourism and hospitality businesses, communities, and destination Ireland as we continue to work towards recovery,” he said.

A new outdoor dining space at Kenmare Place was officially opened today (Wednesday).
The project, which was supported with €605,000 in funding from Fáilte Ireland under the Local Authority Weatherproofing and Outdoor Dining Infrastructure Scheme, provides an attractive outdoor dining option for locals and visitors to Killarney.
“This is a really wonderful addition to Killarney’s tourism infrastructure and will prove a great asset throughout the year and particularly during the forthcoming tourist season,” said Cllr Kelleher, Cathaoirleach of the Killarney Municipal District, who did the honours.
“One of the effects of the recent pandemic was the need to utilise and maximise outdoor dining options and this infrastructure shows what can be achieved in an imaginative way. It will greatly enhance Killarney’s reputation as a destination for top quality tourism experiences.”
The project has been operational since last October but the official opening was timed to coincide with the Meitheal 2023 tourism industry showcase that was organised by Fáilte Ireland at the INEC this week.
“It is fantastic to see Killarney’s outdoor dining infrastructure being so well received by trade and visitors alike,” Miriam Kennedy, Head of Wild Atlantic Way at Fáilte Ireland, said.
Councillors in the Killarney Municipal District approved planning permission for the infrastructure which was completed by Daniel Canty Construction.
