Granted, the drinking at Heuston Train Station, the drinking on the train, the drinking in The Left Bank, the drinking in The Playwright, the drinking in The Village Inn and the drinking in The Pumphouse all may have played a part in our collctive hangovers this morning, but it certainly made for an auspicious start to our Kilkenny Cat Laughs weekend.
Up in the Village Inn we saw our first gig - Jarlath Regan compered and John Mullhaney and Sarah Millican providing further giggles. Millican, in particular, was hillarious. At breakneck speeds she threw out the jokes. I would love to catch her again at ome stage over the weekend.
Tonight, we’ve loads on - at 6.15 we’re in the Ormonde for Tommy Tiernan, Dave Gorman, Shane Mauss and John Colleary (really looking forward to Dave Gorman’s set). We then stay in our seats for Jason Byrne, Adam Hills and, ahem, Hans Teeuwen. After that, we leg it down to the Zoo for The Dark Show, a no-holds-barred gig with Andrew Maxwell, Reginald D. Hunter and Andrew Hunter.
The weather is insanely good, so if you are not down here already, get yor arses to Kilkenny. There’s still tickets available for The Comedy Cats at 6.30 and 10.15, Colin Murphy at 10.30 and Jarlath Regan with Jimeoin and Milton Jones at 10.45. Tickets are available at the Box Office on Parliament Street or online at CarlsbergCatLaughs.com. Oh, and there’s loads of Carlsberg promotions around th town - woohoo!
I will try to give you lot an update again tomorrow, but I make no promises…
(and if anyone fancies meeting up with us while we’re down here, drop us a DM on Twitter @darrenbyrne, @anthonymcg)
