Paddy Power Comedy Festival

Iveagh Gardens
July 21st-24th

Between July 21st and 24th, Paddy Power are taking our side-hustle in internet lols to a literal greener pasture, and hosting some of the biggest names in comedy at the Paddy Power Comedy Festival, in Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens, for 4 nights of stand-up.
Sit near the front, you’ll be fine. Will Smith is not invited.

I used to think I was indecisive.
Now I’m not so sure.
The price of amputations is shocking.
They can cost an arm and a leg.
You never forget how to throw a boomerang.
It always comes back to you.

If you want to set up a company and run it then that’s your business.

Got fired from the calendar factory.
All I did was take a day off.

Despite a stiff neck, bowed back and feeling strung out,
my doctor says I’m as fit as a fiddle.

Where sport meets comedy, like Man Utd.

I backed a horse last week at 10 to 1.
It came in at quarter past four.

I was addicted to the hokey cokey, but then I turned myself around.

Earth, Venus and Mars were going to organise a party.
Unfortunately nobody knew how to planet.

People are shocked when they find out how bad I am as an electrician.

People who use selfie sticks really need to have a good, long look at themselves.

My friend, a milliner, got fired for skiving off work.
She’d just leave at the drop of a hat.

It takes a lot of balls to play golf the way I do.

Jokes about online shopping don’t need much setup.
It’s all in the delivery.
I get really nervous buying groceries online.
I hate putting all my eggs in one basket.

People who use selfie sticks really need to have a good, long look at themselves.

Iveagh Gardens
July 21st-24th

The Iveagh Gardens is a garden (shocker) smack bang in the middle of Dublin, but it’s hidden away behind the National Concert Hall, so it’s got that cool, “oh you’ve never been to the Iveagh Gardens?” thing going on. The entrance is just off Harcourt Street. We’d tell you how to get there, but come on – it’s the 21st century. Put it into Google Maps.

FAQs

Thursday 9th June at 10am.

Each show is individually priced, so the answer is ‘it varies, but between €10 and €35’.

Nope, sorry. Let the adults have their fun.

No, but there’ll be bars and food stalls inside.

Then come to the festival and get chatting (not during the performances though).
