Northern Ireland’s own William Thompson is hitting the road this autumn with a brand new show — and tickets go on sale this Wednesday at 10am.
Presented by NI Comedy, the ‘Touch Grass’ UK & Irish Tour promises Thompson’s trademark sharp wit, fearless observations and dark, punchy humour.
🎟 Tickets on sale Wednesday at 10am via www.nicomedy.com
🌱 ‘Touch Grass’ – What’s It About?
Best known for his work on LazyBoyz and the hit podcast Tea With Me, Thompson’s new show dives headfirst into the chaotic world of social media.
Trolls. Incels. Nazis.
They only exist online… right?
In Touch Grass, Thompson explores how internet culture bleeds into real life — blurring the lines between digital outrage and everyday reality. Expect uncomfortable laughs, sharp takes and the kind of comedy that makes you question whether you should delete your apps on the walk home.
If you’ve ever lost an argument in a comments section or doom-scrolled at 2am, this one’s for you.

Why This Tour Matters
William Thompson has become one of Northern Ireland’s most recognisable comedy voices — unapologetically local but sharply tuned into global culture. With Touch Grass, he’s tapping into something that feels incredibly current.
We’re living online more than ever — but what happens when the internet starts living through us?
If his previous work is anything to go by, expect a night that’s as thought-provoking as it is hilarious.
