Galway Comedy Festival is bursting at the seams with comedy brilliance, all part of a 70-strong line-up of international stars, homegrown comedy greats, and emerging talent, playing 69 shows across 16 venues over 7 days and nights. You’d best start planning your week of ‘carefully curated craic’.

Sharon Mannion
When Deirdre O’Kane cites herself as one of your fans, you know you’re doing something right – and Sharon Mannion certainly is. She was Concepta on the hit comedy series, Bridget & Eamonn; is resident host of The Comedy Cellar at the International in Dublin; and she has played every comedy festival on our island. She is also an award winning comic writer, scooping a Writer’s Guild of Ireland Zebbie Best Radio Script Award for her RTÉ Radio 1 play, Stuck.
