Common Knowledge Information
Following sold-out performances at Dublin’s iconic Olympia Theatre and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and an international run that included an Australian tour to Sydney and Melbourne in October 2025, followed by performances across Ireland and Glasgow in March 2026, multiple Emmy Award winner Rosie O’Donnell brings her acclaimed one-woman show Common Knowledge to New York City.
It’s her first new stage show in almost a decade. Witty, personal and sharply observed, Common Knowledge is a richly told hour that balances big laughs with deep insight.
Now living in Dublin, Rosie shares unfiltered reflections on leaving the US, raising and learning from her fiercely bright youngest child, Clay, and adjusting to a new yet familiar culture.
Rosie’s decades-long career spans film, television and theatre, from A League of Their Own and Sleepless in Seattle to her long-running talk show and, more recently, a star turn in And Just Like That. A long-time advocate and cultural icon, Rosie brings humor, presence and an unflinchingly direct voice to the stage.
