The Belfast Ma is coming to the MAC for Christmas 2025 with the latest instalment of her sell out comedy show. The Belfast Ma: Sortin Christmas.
Sitting in her living room, having a wee feg and Bailey's; Sadie Devine, everyone's favourite Ma, is planning to have the perfect Christmas with her best mate Patricia, Big Maureen next door, her sister Theresa, and long-suffering husband John.
Everything is under control until her favourite nephew Stevie arrives on the scene and turns her house upside down with his dodgy dealings.
Sadie and Stevie move from one hilarious hijinks to the next attempting to get Christmas back on track, but will they get it sorted?
A hilarious comedy based on everyone's Ma, The Belfast Ma: Sortin Christmas promises to be a pure Christmas geg.
Starring TikTok Sensation Paul Nugent and John Travers. Written by Tom Rowntree-Finlay and Thomas McCorry.
Age Guidance: 15+ (Strong Language)
How Our Prices Work
How Our Prices Work
Better seats. Better prices. Better get your skates on.
We set our ticket prices in a similar way to airlines - the earlier you book, the cheaper the seat. Our Upstairs Theatre tickets for this show start low at £15* and rise over time to a maximum of £26* the nearer it gets to the performance.
Our ticket price promise: the earlier you book, the more you save
Unlike most price promises, we guarantee that ours will never be cheaper than they are today. The closer it gets to the performance date, the higher they become.
Seats in the Upstairs Theatre are unallocated so when you arrive, an usher will direct you to an available seat.
