Galway Comedy Festival is no longer just a city phenomenon, and it is expanding to bring major international comedians to the county as well.

James Hardiman, the Galway historian, wrote the following in 1820, “This colony has from time immemorial been ruled by one of their own body, periodically elected. This individual, who is dignified with the title of Mayor, in imitation of the head municipal officer of the town, regulates the community according to their own peculiar laws and customs, and settles all their fishery disputes. His decisions are so decisive, and much respected that the parties are seldom known to carry their differences before a legal tribunal, or to trouble the legal magistrates”.

Galway Comedy Festival announced ambitions to become a world-leading laughathon when launching its full 2023 programme this week.
