JOE’s 3 go-to comedy gigs (September 9 – 23)

Our must-see comedy trinity

JOE

Get your laughing gear down to these.

Seeing as we do a weekly feature about go-to music gigs, we thought it only fair that the funny men and women are given some loving too.

This is our new fortnightly feature about the best of the upcoming comedy gigs around the country.

Who: Gearoid Farrelly, Chris Kent
Where: September 15-19
When: Smock Alley, Dublin

The Tiger Dublin Fringe offers up two of Ireland’s rising comedy stars for the price of one. Both are back after hugely successful runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and for €11, you are getting an absolute bargain of a double-header.

Who: Dara O’Briain
Where: September 10-12, 18-19
When: Vicar Street, Dublin

One of our biggest stars, Dara O’Briain returns to Ireland with his show Crowd Tickler. Smart and funny observations from one of the sharpest minds in the business.

Who: Tommy Tiernan
Where: September 10-13
When: City Limits, Cork

Needs no introduction, but it’s nice to see someone as big as Tommy Tiernan going back to his roots here and playing the famous Cork comedy club.

City Limits was the venue for the recording of his Crooked Man DVD.
