Dún Laoghaire Comedy Festival

Various Locations, Sunday 1st November - Sunday 8th November

The Dún Laoghaire Comedy Festival is back for its fifth year with even more laughs, hilarity, and surprises. The festival features a star-studded lineup of dozens of comedians performing in 30+ unique shows. They’ll perform in various venues across Dún Laoghaire from November 1st to 8th.

What started in 2022 with 4 venues, 15 comedians and a borrowed mic stand has grown into one of Ireland's most distinctive comedy festivals, bringing together 14 venues, dozens of comedians and seven days of stand-up, storytelling, live shows and very questionable decisions.

Five years on, the festival is still built around the same simple idea: put brilliant comedians into great rooms, fill those rooms with people who want to laugh, and let Dún Laoghaire do the rest.

There are no corporate sponsor stages. No endless industry panels. No giant arenas where you need binoculars to see the comedian.

Instead, the festival takes over the town — from intimate comedy rooms to some of Dún Laoghaire's best-known venues — creating a week where you can see a huge name one night, discover your new favourite comedian the next, and still be by the sea two minutes later.

The festival has always been about more than just comedy. It's about Dún Laoghaire: the harbour, the pubs, the restaurants, the people, the atmosphere and that particular feeling you get when a town comes alive for a weekend.

Gurriers

Vicar Street

Formed during the pandemic, Gurriers quickly built a reputation for bone-rattling, mosh-ready live shows and sharp, socially conscious songwriting. Since their debut’s release, the milestones have continued to stack up: a standout appearance on Later… with Jools Holland, main stage performances across Glastonbury’s Woodsies and Leftfield stages, and arena support slots with Turnstile and Kneecap. On Nobody’s Coming To Save You, Gurriers channel the spirit of protest, resistance and personal reflection into some of their most ambitious material to date. This is Gurriers taking all th
