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’.

Andrew Maxwell
Maxwell’s comedic mix of the personal and the political has long made him a hit in his native Ireland, as well as in Britain, where he is now based. He has appeared on Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week, QI and Comedy Central’s Roast Battle. His brilliant podcast Eejits of the World co-hosted with Glen Wool is essential listening.

Glenn Wool
Glenn Wool is “effortlessly funny with an affability that other comics can only dream of” (The Guardian), an “edgy, imaginative, funny and original who sets the standards at the Fringe” (Daily Telegraph). This comedic ability has seen Glenn perform in Australia, New Zealand, USA, South Africa, Europe, Singapore, and even Saudi Arabia. He was nominated for Best International Stand Up at The New Zealand Comedy Awards and twice for Best Headliner at the Chortle Awards. A huge music fan, he has also played Reading, Leeds, Download & Glastonbury Festivals.
