We spent a very sunny Saturday in a very black tent for The International Comedy Club show at The Vodafone Comedy Festival in the Iveagh Gardens last weekend. On the Thursday we caught Maeve Higgins, Tig Notaro and Eleanor Tiernan in an unexpectedly awesome all-female line-up. We can’t find official video from the weekend online just yet, but with Tig Notaro and Nick Thune being two brilliant new-t0-us acts that we’ve come away loving, we’re doing our duty to pop culture and telling you to check them out. The Comedy Fest, by the way, has lots of newfangled venue names like ‘The Cherry Top’ and ‘The V Room’ now that new sponsor Vodafone’s on board, but it’s still the same awesome weekend of comedy. Missing it and looking forward to next year already.

… because that’s where I live. I know you’d like that. I see the way you’re looking at me. The lovely bhoys and gurls at The Pavilion in Cork have organised, for your aural pleasure, a Dirty Weekender. Now, I’m fond of complaining that there’s nothing to do in Cork, but that’s because I live there and as a typical Irish whingebag, it’s my duty to diss it whenever I can. The truth is that there’s always something going on in Cork, something odd or beetling or tricksy or bold that’s worth digging into. I would like to dig into the Weekender. I’ll leave it to the Paviolies to explain the game. Rather than give you the usual press release, intraweb media muck, we decided to let y’all know how we roll southside. Cork style. Dirty Weekender wasn’t born in some genius inspired moment of clarity nor seedy strip joint … There’s more →

Could you do with a big LOL? A big belly laugh? A giggle, a guffaw, a titter, a chuckle, a chortle, cracking up, bursting yourself, peeing your pants, dying laughing, snickering, in stitches? Well on Saturday 26th June at 7.30pm there is an unrivalled night of comedy and laughter planned for Vicar Street. The line up is phenomenal - Dara O’Briain, Hector Ó hEochagáin, Maeve Higgins, David O’Doherty, Jarlath Regan, Dermot Whelan, Eric Lalor and Eleanor Tiernan and there are still some more names to be announced. Tickets are just €28 and all proceeds will go to Temple Street Children’s Hospital. €28 to see all of the comedians above is an amazing price, you could pay that just to see one or two of them at a gig normally.

Regular readers with great memories may remember Niamho writing about David O’ Doherty‘s live gig in Whelan’s of Wexford St, Dublin last August to record his new album. A couple of us went - supporting live comedy, don’t ya know - and it was indeed, what it promised to be - a funny, fast and frenetic couple of hours in the company of DOD, his keyboards, his many batteries and his rambling, manic, sometimes dangerous mind.
