ABOUT

Wayne Whelan Productions was established to work in conjunction with Tivoli Entertainments, with a clear vision to create, produce, house and tour high quality productions across Ireland and the UK.

​

Founded by Wayne Whelan, the company draws on his extensive experience in live entertainment, venue operations and large scale production. Wayne has worked internationally across the live entertainment industry, developing and delivering shows for audiences in different markets.

​

His international experience has also included bringing some of Boston’s most exciting live shows to Dublin, Ireland, creating new opportunities for audiences to experience acclaimed productions and entertainment from overseas.

​

Wayne Whelan Productions has worked with leading brands and entertainment partners, including Cheerios, Jameson, Film Cult Festival, Jameson’s Bartenders Ball and Smirnoff, as well as many headline artists. These collaborations have included branded events, festivals, live entertainment experiences and large scale productions.

​

Wayne was appointed Licence Holder and Chief Operating Officer of Tivoli Entertainments, where he was responsible for the full day to day operation and development of the venue.

​

Significantly, Wayne became the first person to be appointed Licence Holder in the history of the Tivoli since its opening in 1987. This remains an achievement of which he is extremely proud and represented an important acknowledgement of his work, dedication and contribution to the operation and development of the Tivoli.

​

Under his leadership, the Tivoli grew into one of Ireland’s busiest and most versatile entertainment venues, presenting a combined programme of more than 700 shows and events annually.

​

The Tivoli’s unique configuration allowed it to operate across three distinct formats: an intimate 500 seat theatre for theatrical productions, comedy and live performance; a 1,200 capacity standing live entertainment space for concerts, major live events and large scale entertainment; and an outdoor space capable of accommodating up to 5,000 festival patrons.

​

This experience and infrastructure provided the foundations for Wayne Whelan Productions.

​

Today, the company brings together production, touring and live entertainment expertise, developing and delivering productions with the ability to move beyond a single venue and reach audiences throughout Ireland, the United Kingdom and internationally.

​

From the initial concept through production, venue delivery and touring, Wayne Whelan Productions is built around a practical understanding of what it takes to bring live entertainment to the stage and to audiences at scale.
