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.

Rich Hall
If it’s Galway Comedy Festival, then Rich Hall will be in town! The singing cowboy from Montana enjoys a special position as a much loved regular guest. The comedy of this Perrier Award (Edinburgh Comedy Festival) and Barry Award winner – part stories, part improvised country songs – was wonderfully described by Chortle: “He still embraces the easily romanticised idea of the grizzled road comedian, the travelling troubadour with every line on that notoriously craggy Moe Szyslak face telling a story.”

“One hour of stonking stand-up and another of stomping hoedown mayhem. That’s two top gigs in one” – The Mail On Sunday

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!
