The biggest names, the greatest laughs, and Ireland’s largest comedy festival - it can only be Galway Comedy Festival, and this October it will deliver the most exciting and ambitious line-up yet assembled in the event’s near 20-year history. The Festival now boasts a 70-strong line-up of international stars, homegrown comedy greats, and emerging talent performing at 69 shows, across 17 Galway venues, from Tuesday 24 to Monday 30 October.
