Rosie O'Donnell, the eleven-time Emmy and Tony Award winner, known for her legendary career in film, television and stage makes her long-awaited return to the New York stage with Common Knowledge. Now living in her newly adopted hometown of Dublin, Ireland, Rosie reflects on the move, the culture shift, family life, and the humbling and hilarious realization that maybe she doesn’t have it all figured out. Don't miss this fresh take from a comedy icon, chock full of sharp insight, big laughs and brilliantly personal storytelling.
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.
