Kilkenny gearing up for the Cat Laughs 30th Celebration Gala.
The special event to celebrate three decades of fun across the June Bank Holiday weekend is being planned for The Hub at Cillin Hill with “the best lineup of Irish comedians”, MC’d by Des Bishop.
Participants include Celya AB, Scott Bennett, Neil Delamere, David O Doherty, Gearoid Farrelly, Chris Kent, Susie McCabe, Joanne McNally, Dara O Briain, Alison Spittle, Karl Spain, Shane Todd and Dan Tiernan.
On the same evening (from 6pm) the Pembroke Hotel will host Chris Kent and friends.
The rest of the programme is due to be announced in mid March and will be uploaded here.
But ticket sales for the first two offerings are already going well.
Festival founder Richard Cook told our Brian Redmond about it on The KCLR Daily – hear that in full here:
