Headliner: Eddie Mullarkey
Galway-born comedian Eddie Mullarkey has brought his sharp wit and charm to stages across the globe. A regular in Ireland’s top comedy clubs, Eddie is known for his quick-fire storytelling and easy charisma.
He created, produced, and hosted The Craic Den Comedy Club — a hit stand-up TV show that ran for two seasons on Virgin Media.
Eddie has enjoyed three consecutive sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe (2021–2023) and performed at major festivals throughout Ireland and the UK, including All Together Now, the Paddy Power Comedy Festival, the Galway Comedy Festival, Leicester Comedy Festival, and Brighton Fringe.
Support: Breda Hegarty & Cormac Sinnott
Breda Hegarty is an emerging star of Irish comedy and has been picking up lots of awards along the way - winner of Best New Act 2025 at the Bray Comedy Festival, winner of Best Comedian at the DICFF Stand up Comp, Semi-Finalist at the BBC Funny Women competition 2025 and selected by BBC funny women as 'One to Watch in 2025’. She has performed at the Paddy Power Comedy Festival, Vicar Street, The Laughter Lounge and Electric Picnic. Breda is quickly rising through the ranks of the Irish stand up comedy scene and has performed with the likes of David McSavage, Adam Bloom, John Colleary, Colin Murphy, Joe Rooney, David O'Doherty, Emma Doran, Pat McDonnell and many more.
Cormac Sinnott is a 24-year-old Dublin-based comedian who has developed a name for himself on the UK and Ireland Comedy scene for his deadpan, otherworldly comedy stylings. He was a finalist in both the So You Think You're Funny and Chortle Student Comedy Award competitions, and is very nice as a person if you get to know him.
"Expert Timing... Artful Writing" - Steve Bennett, Chortle.
And Your Host: Chris Watts
Chris Watts is fast becoming one of Irish comedy’s biggest rising stars. A mainstay at top clubs across the country, including Róisín Dubh, The Craic Den and the Laughter Lounge, Chris has performed alongside some of Irish comedy’s biggest names, including Dylan Moran, Karl Spain and even opened for Willa White at the Gaiety Theatre last year. His chaotic storytelling and conversational style has seen him win multiple completions over the past couple of years, not least the infamous King Gong at London’s iconic Comedy Store.
Chris will make you laugh when you least expect it. A young comic not to be missed!
