5th Nov - Cavern Comedy Festival : CCCahoots 8pm, €15
Cork's finest, CCCahoots bring their sell out Cork Opera House show to the Comedy Cavern for a one-off intimate gig! With added new characters and sketches, you'd be mad not to go. Sher, I'll go with ya!
"Widely regarded as the most exciting troupe in Irish comedy at the moment" The Sunday Times
6th Nov - Cavern Comedy Festival : Shane Clifford 8pm, €15
In the 3 years since he nervously stepped on stage in a tiny room in Killarney and told jokes to 4 American tourists, he has risen quickly performing all over Ireland and appearing at major Irish comedy festivals including Castlepalooza, Cork Comedy Festival and the Vodafone Comedy Festival.
In 2018 Shane was a finalist at the prestigious So You Think You're Funny? final at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in october he performed his first solo hour, "Shanes Brilliant Stand Up Show", to a sold out audience in Whelans, Dublin. Having achieved so much in such a short period it is clear that Shane has become one of the most original and exciting new acts in Irish comedy.
"The best comedian in Ireland, hands down" - Blindboy Boatclub
7th Nov - Cavern Comedy Festival : Gearoid Farrelly 8pm, €15
Alchemy is a new show from comedian Gearóid Farrelly in which he is pretty certain he will be able to solve all of the worlds problems. To start with Science needs more laughs, we need more superstar comebacks and Conor McGregor should just stop talking.
Gearóid has appeared at comedy festivals all over the world, touring with the likes of Joan Rivers, Patton Oswalt and Sarah Millican. He recently appeared on the BBC radio 4 panel show “An Elephant in the Room” and can be heard on his podcast “Fascinated” where he tracks down his childhood heroes!
8th Nov - Cavern Comedy Festival : Tony Law 7:30pm, €15
Tony Law identifies as a hominid. Homo sapiens, Neanderthal, Indo-European horse tribesman, an Englishman, a Canadian, a Norn Iron man and a Trinidadian and a Tobagonian. A dog, a dog owner, owned by a dog, a surrealist, an absurdist and an artist who is comedy of person. A parent, a thrower, a catcher, a reader and a farmer.
His 16th show is turning out to be his best yet. For connoisseurs of comedy who have seen it all and are funny in their own bones. Top drawer Tony. Comedian's comedian comedian for the comedy nerd.
Tony has appeared on Have I Got News For You, The Alternative Comedy Experience, 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Never Mind The Buzzcocks.
"Takes post-modern stand-up to a dangerously funny new level" The Guardian
8th Nov - Cavern Comedy Festival : Bernard Casey 10pm, €15
Bernard Casey's live show is a bold and brilliant mix of stand-up comedy and character performance. His videos including the Irish Oral, the Polish Barman and the hugely popular Local Gossip. Brilliant accents, wild impressions and amazing storytelling mixed with expertly crafted jokes make this live show a must see.
