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.

John Colleary
Colleary is best known as a co-writer and star on The Savage Eye and Irish Pictorial Weekly; and more recently, supporting Tommy Tiernan on his nationwide Tomfoolery tour.

John’s brilliant solo show at last year’s Festival sold out, so don’t miss his latest hour, Head Like a Shed, this October. “It’s something that came to my mind as a rhyme, and then I thought, ‘Actually, that makes sense’,” Colleary told Hot Press. “My head’s like a shed because it’s too big for what’s in it, everything that’s in it is scattered around the place, and most of it doesn’t belong to me.”

“Playful, inventive and brilliant. The best” – Tommy Tiernan

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!
