DOD Scoops the Watchyemaycallit Award.
Stick your Olympic golds up your hole. We got the big one. David O’Doherty won the biggest prize at the Edinburgh Fringe last night, that award that used to be called the Perrier. Dave became the fifth Irishman to take the award following in the footsteps of Tommy Tiernan, Dylan Moran, Sean Hughes and Ben Keaton.
PJ Back In Comedy Capital.
Maybe it’s because he had such a good time there in June or maybe he just left his phone charger in his hotel room but whatever the reason PJ Gallagher is back in Kilkenny for one night only on August the 8th at Langtons.
The Balor Is Dead, Long Live The Balor.
The Balor Theatre in Ballybofey, Co Donegal has closed the doors to it’s location at the old Ritz Cinema for the final time. The Balor will move to a new state of the art facility next week. State of the art?? Haven’t they heard there’s a recession.
The Mighty Boosh Festival.
About 10 years ago lazy journalists started describing comedy as being the new Rock n’ Roll. This was of course complete bollocks. Comedians are usually the most un Rock n’ Roll people you are ever likely to meet … as a rule. Over the past 10 years there has only been one exception to that rule, only one true rock star comedian. His name is Noel Fielding and he is one half of The Mighty Boosh.
George Carlin RIP

Iveagh Garden Comedy Carnival Returns.
Last year saw the inaugral Iveagh Gardens Comedy Carnival. Set in the wonderful surrounds of one of Dublin City’s best kept secrets it was a huge success despite rain for most of the weekend. Well this July see’s it’s return. Bigger, shinier, and with better beer.
More 'No Pricks' Means No More Pricks.
The second No Pricks Comedy Show takes place tonight, Tuesday 27th of May, doing more than it’s fair share in the continuing battle to make Dublin a prick free show.
Beat The Traffic To Kilkenny.
I don’t want to hear any moaning about the traffic in Kilkenny this weekend. So used to the journey from Dublin to Kilkenny is CAt Laughs festival director Eddie Bannon that he now has it down to a cool four minutes.
