Danny O Brien
This month’s headliner is Danny O’ Brien! Now a veteran of the Irish and international stand-up scene. His friendly, high energy, anecdotal style brings on the big laughs with ease.
He is a regular on Irish TV and radio and last year he brought the house down when he opened for Dermot & Dave at UCH.
He also recently opened for American comedian Bill Burr in front of over 7,000 people in The 3Arena and according to Bill “…. murdered it”!

Fred Cooke
Fred Cooke is leaving his twinkle toes behind him from Dancing with the Stars and taken to the road for his new comical tour of musical madness.
Becoming “Irish Comedian of the Year 2018” (Tatler Magazine), he has supported Irish Comedy legend Tommy Tiernan on his Nationwide Tour.
Cooke’s guitar plucking panache enables him to paint comical situations before delivering unexpected killer-punch lines that leave his audience “elevated to hilarity” (The Scotsman).
