Limerick city to become ‘one big stage’ for comedy festival
Comedy will be spreading across the city, bringing audiences to some of Limerick’s best-known entertainment spots
LIMERICK Comedy Festival will be taking over the city this weekend with four days of stand-up and “plenty of laughs”.
The event will take place from Thursday, September 24 to Sunday, September 27, bringing four days of “unique performances” to venues across Limerick.
Featuring some of Ireland’s favourite comedians, including Karl Spain, Pat McDonnell, Joe Rooney, Fred Cooke, Breda Larkin, David Tsonos, Bonnie Ann Clyde, and more, the festival promises “a packed programme of big laughs and brilliant live entertainment, with something to suit every comedy fan”.
Comedy will be spreading across the city, bringing audiences to some of Limerick’s best-known entertainment spots.
The Old Quarter, Sextons, 101, Phil Flannery’s, The White House, The Horse and Hound Bar, The Belltable and Wickham Way will all play host to festival events throughout the four days.
The festival is being organised by John Mulligan, founder of Four Corners Comedy Club, who has been at the heart of Limerick’s comedy scene for several years.
John established the club in 2019 with the aim of creating more opportunities for comedians to perform in Limerick, particularly for new performers looking for their first chance to take to the stage.
A spokesperson for the event said: “Whether you’re a lifelong comedy fan or simply looking for a great night out, there’s something for everyone.
