THE LAUGHTER Lounge in the Róisín Dubh will hold it’s fifth birthday party on Wednesday with sets from Damien Clark, Addy Van Der Borgh, and Keith Farnan.
Damien Clark is originally from Australia but has been living in Ireland for a number of years and came to national prominence as the co host of RTÉ’s I Dare Ya! Chortle.co.uk has praised Clarke’s comedy, saying: “There is barely a bad word to say about Clark: distinctive and possessing a comic talent beyond his years, both biological and mental.”
Addy Van Der Borgh has that rare talent of making people laugh as soon as he walks on stage. He is a great performer of highly acclaimed and original material, an ability noticed immediately by the BBC when he appeared on the Stand-up Show after only one year as a comedian.
He subsequently appeared on Live at Jongleurs and The World Stands Up for Sky TV. He has also written and co-presented episodes of TV Meltdown for Sky 1 with Kirsty Gallagher. As the Edinburgh Evening News said: “This man was born to make people laugh.”
When it comes to delivery, Keith Farnan is a natural. He is confident, relaxed, and fluid, capturing that spirit of an easy-going, funny conversation with your friends down the pub, which is the essence of good stand-up.
Doors are at 8.30pm. Tickets are available from the Róisín Dubh and Zhivago.
