Top class line-up as Galway Comedy Festival promises to roll out best-ever barrel of laughs


The Bulmers Galway Comedy Festival next month promises to end the festival season on a real high with its brightest and most diverse programme ever!.
Happening over a week of non-stop shows, the festival runs from October 22-28, taking in the long and lovely bank holiday weekend.
The full 2013 programme features over 50 comedians including Sean Lock, Lee Mack, Kevin Bridges, Russell Howard, David O'Doherty, Stewart Lee, Jason Byrne, Phill Jupitus, Omid Djalili, Andrew Maxwell, Michael Winslow, and Neil Delamere.
In addition to star headliners and top TV names, this year’s programme includes comedy trailblazers, alternative comedy legends, cerebral movers and shakers plus the absurd, the ridiculous and brand new up-and-coming comedic talent.
Stand up is just one part of this action-packed week. Other elements include the full spectrum of improv, theatre, podcasts, poetry readings, musical and sketch comedy plus late and live comedy mixed bills.
It will feature everything from major marquee names like Sean Lock, Lee Mack, Kevin Bridges and Russell Howard to absurdist comedians such as Tony Law and Paul Currie to the spectacularly unique Frank Sanazi and Reverend Obadiah Steppenwolf III to the madcap antics of Faulty Towers Dining Experience and the totally unpredictable Set List and Whose Line is it anyway?
