Andrew Maxwell brings his show, KRAKATOA, to Róisín Dubh tonight

Wed, Apr 26, 2023

Multi-faceted comedian Andrew Maxwell - who has won the Time Out Award for Best Live Comic, featured on shows like Live at the Apollo and I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, and voices MTV's Ex On The Beach - is bringing his show, KRAKATOA, to Róisín Dubh this evening, Thursday April 27.

Throughout his career, Maxwell has enjoyed many sell-out seasons at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, most recently in 2022 with KRAKATOA, which was met with critical acclaim - and yet his self-confessed favourite venue to play in is the Róisín, luckily for us Galwegians. He says: "It's a really intimate, fun space to perform in, but the level of laughter that Galway crowds give you makes it feel like a huge venue."
