Sunday night was great as usual, i really enjoyed it
Johnny Goodwin was very good for his first time doing stand up
you would think he was doing it full time
he really was impressive along with the rest of the lads

This Sunday we see the return of one of our favourite comics Mr Ross Brown, his fast pace comedy style makes him a sure hit every time, you do not want to miss this guy.
This is certainly a week for returning comics as we await the return of Kevin Kelleher, the Kerry man proved a bit hit with the ladies.
The new kid on the block in his last outing is Daniel Cahill wowed the audience with his quick but relaxed comic banter.
From the Co Clare we have Seamus Burke with a very witty sence of humour. Our newbie this week falls on Alan Endemann, who like so many of our recent discoveries in recent weeks was just a regular member of the audience who decided to take the plunge.
Our MC this week is Kerry comedian of the year Mr Johnny P. As in last week the great Easter egg giveaway take place at the start of the show so be early to get in with a chance.

Well were back from Kilkenny where we got to meet all the big stars in comedy, yeah you guess'ed right we were serving tables again this year to get money.

The fringe was very hard this year for all the clubs, some lost money, never heard of before in the fringe.

Anyway this Sunday the Craichouse presents some comedians that actually survived the week end.

Breda O Donnell hails from Co Limerick, and over the past few years has developed quite a following. Her tales of real country life has made her very popular with city audiences every where more so here in Cork.

Johhny Goodwin is fairly new to the comedy scene but already has proven himself very popular with Craichouse audiences, his material is very well polished, and is one to watch out for in the future.

Paddy O Shea well the lad has done more for tourism in Amsterdam than any tourist board. Paddy proved a big hit with the Kilkenny audiences.

Graham Storey is one of those Dubs you simply love to hear, his material is down to earth and Graham became hugely popular in Kilkenny, so much so he had to give extra performances due to the demand.

Johhny P voted Kerry comedian of the year '06, /07,/08, yup he's that good. His catch on sports commentating in unmatched in Ireland, even by the commentators themselves.

tbc.

MC for the night is well me, so you just know your gonna have a good one. If things work out right I will deliever the face of christ and the goods on what went on in Kilkenny.
