Friday the 4th November sees Eric returning to his home ground of the Axis in Ballymun, bringing with him Gearoid Farrelly. Eric has recently returned from a massively succesful Edinburgh trip and also just did his first ever solo show in the Sugar Club which was a massive hit. Gearoid has recently finished gigs in Whelan’s and various other venues around the country. Now while one cannot disagree that both men are very funny, they couldn’t be more different if they tried! On this tour they will fight about everything from music to what each other are wearing on stage. The only thing they can agree on is the audience will have a great night of comedy. This promises to be an exciting and slightly mental night of comedy. Two headliners for the price of one! What more do you want? I urge you to go and find out why … There’s more →

If you would like to go along to see Little Gem in the Axis on Saturday 27th … There’s more →

** And the winners, as selected by some random girl I found, are as follows:** Mr. Travors and Joe Reynolds ** Congrats to Joe and Travors who have won a pair of tickets each to ** ** Ardal O’Hanlon, presented by The House of Fun at the Axis Theatre ** Despite the many stand up comedy gigs I’ve been to over the years, I’ve never been lucky enough to catch Ardal O’Hanlon. This is something I plan to rectify next weekend when the star of new film Wide Open Spaces, TV’s My Hero and a little known comedy show about priests, comes to the Axis Theatre in Ballymun. The House of Fun present Ardal O’Hanlon who will bring his own brand of intelligent, dry, deadpan comedy to the Axis on 21st August at 8pm. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing him outside of my tellybox and being himself. … There’s more →
