This October the nation’s biggest comedy festival will take over Galway’s pubs and theatres for seven joyous nights, transforming the city and county into Ireland’s Comedy Capital – in the process delivering an unforgettable celebration of humour, wit, and all things funny.

Not only is Dylan Moran a part of the 70-strong line-up of comedians, but he is also a part of the team as the Festival’s Artist In Residence.

From Oct 23-27, Dylan will hold an exhibition of his painted works in Outset Gallery. This exhibit will also feature selected works by fellow comedians Colin Murphy & Phill Jupitus. What’s more, Dylan & the Festival team have curated a line-up of interactive and engaging events to take place in Outset Gallery. Through workshops, classes & collaborative events, the line between passive audience member and active creator will be blissfully blurred.

A tidal wave of madness, mischief and merriment is heading West with the return of Galway Comedy Festival this October 22nd-28th, with Russell Howard, Dara Ó Briain, Deirdre O’Kane, Des Bishop, Dylan Moran, Ruby Wax, and Mario Rosenstock featuring in a Festival packed with comedy brilliance!
