Irelands biggest and longest running comedy competition, 'Show Me The Funny' (sponsored by Bulmers ), returns to the Kings Head Bar next Monday, January 23.
Under the watchful eye of host and MC, Gerry Mallon, ten new comedians will battle it out in the first of five consecutive Monday night heats. Only two of them will make it through to the grand final on Monday, February 27. The eventual winner of the final will garner a career changing slot at the Comedy Tent at Electric Picnic this year, plus 2 x weekend VIP tickets for the festival itself.
There are also fantastic runner up prizes on offer, including slots at All Together Now, Galway Comedy Festival and Galway International Arts Festival. Previous years contestants and finalists have included Kevin McGahern, Bernard Casey, Alison Spittle, Emma Doran, Julie Jay and several others who are now stars of the comedy circuit. Galway, this is your chance to catch the best of comedy's future, today!
There will also be a very special guest act on the night. Fresh from supporting Kevin Bridges on his recent arena tour, loveable Limerick scallywag Karl Spain will grace us with his presence!
Tickets are €5 and will include a free pint of Bulmers Cider.
Get your tickets on the door. Doors open at 7.45pm. The show will start at 8.30pm.
