Some of Irelands funniest comedians are making the pilgrimage from the Emerald Isle to The Dear Green Place this March
DUBLIN DARLING, SHANE IS HITTING GLASGOW
You may know Shane Daniel Byrne from the hit podcast Young Hot Guys, viral stand-up clips, or his sold out Edinburgh Fringe runs.
And now, expect rapid-fire craic and big-hearted feelings in his new show about bellies and bullies. A brilliantly honest reflection for anyone who’s ever felt too soft, too weird, too queer or too much.
“Very, very funny” — BroadwayWorld
“My favourite new Irish comedian for many years” — David O’Doherty
MEET THE QUEENS OF WELLNESS…FERAL WELLNESS THAT IS!
Following their wildly successful respective Edinburgh Fringe runs (Scotsman 4 Stars) Aideen McQueen and Sophia Wren Come to Glasgow International Comedy Festival where the chaotic comics will be serving feral wellness, hot mess, glittering mental breakdown and most importantly hilarity.
Aideen and Sophia help you along wherever you are on your wellness/unwellness journey. This is for everyone who’s ever been told they are too much, not enough, too intense, too mental, a mad bitch, a weirdo or space cadet. Namaste, lets get fucking mindful.
FUNNY AND CAN DANCE? THE PERFECT COMBO!
After surviving hospital stays, a sick cat, and a nerve-racking stint on Dancing with the Stars, Gearóid Farrelly returns with No Pressure. In this candid and hilarious hour, he unpacks the chaos of modern life with his trademark wit. Gearóid reflects on the absurdities of life, the challenges of self-care, and the joy of embracing imperfection.
“Bloody hilarious”

A COMEDIAN WORTH A MILLION DOLLARS

THE MAIN MAN IS BACK IN TOWN
In his funniest show yet, Paddy McDonnell takes you through life with a disease that can’t be cured — but life doesn’t stop for that. As if managing kids, marriage and career while fighting thinning hair, and the never-ending battle with fitness and weight, wasn’t enough! Luckily, Paddy finds the laughs in it all.
If you’ve never seen Paddy live, you’re missing one of Ireland’s most honest and entertaining voices in comedy.
