Extreme adventurer Damian Browne is hosting a “spoken word tour” early in the new year on his solo rows across the Atlantic in both directions.
Browne, the focus of the documentary Man Versus Ocean broadcast on RTE Television last week, has taken the same title for his tour.
The Man Versus Ocean spoken word tour kicks off in Dundalk, Co Louth, at An Táin on January 19th, and he is in Belfast at the Elmwood Hall in Queen’s University on January 20th.
He speaks in his home city of Galway on January 21st in the Black Box Theatre, and he is in the Sligo Hawk’s Well Theatre on January 23rd.
The tour continues to Dublin, at the Helix Theatre, on January 25th, and The Everyman Theatre in Cork on January 31st.
Waterford is the final stop at the Theatre Royal on February 2nd.
As previously reported by Afloat, the former professional rugby player and his lifelong friend and fellow rugby player Fergus Farrell had been attempting to set a new Guinness world record in an unsupported row across the Atlantic in 2022.
However, Farrell, who learned to walk after a serious spinal injury at work, had to be medically evacuated after 12 days at sea after leaving New York to Galway, and Browne continued alone.
After 112 days at sea and five capsizes – the last one within Galway Bay – Browne arrived home to a hero's welcome.
Admission to Browne’s spoken word tour is €27.50 plus the booking fee.
