Carlsberg Comedy Carnival - Dublin

 Thursday 21st - Sunday 24th July 2011

It will play host to over 65 world-class International and Irish acts, playing 50 shows over one unique carnival weekend. These will be performed in four magnificent, fully-seated, purpose-built marquees, including the impressive and atmospheric Iveagh Theatre tent, the Comedy Factory (which will feature a bespoke pop-art interior), the intimate Shack and the stunning Magic Mirrors Palace, a Spiegeltent which is being shipped in from Belgium.

Carlsberg Comedy Carnival will showcase a diverse range of well known, alternative and up-and-coming talent, including Des Bishop, Louis C.K., The Tommy & Hector Show, Lee Mack, Ardal O'Hanlon, The Stars of ‘Whose Line is it Anyway' with special guest Phill Jupitus, The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, John Cooper Clarke, Jason Byrne, PJ Gallagher, Reggie Watts, David O' Doherty, Maeve Higgins, Reginald D. Hunter, Adam Hills, Apres Match, Phil Nichol, John Bishop, Danny Bhoy and many more. It will also feature a lively array of performance artists, musicians, good food and refreshments in a vibrant, carnivalesque surrounding.

The Iveagh Gardens are among the finest of Dublin's parks and gardens and were originally landscaped as part of the International Exhibition of 1865 ‘to afford to the people of Dublin and it's neighbourhood national amusement'. So it is particularly appropriate to realise this vision over 140 years later by holding a comedy carnival in this historic setting.

Join the Fun this summer at the Iveagh Gardens!
