Comedy Review: Vodafone Comedy Festival at Iveagh Gardens, Dublin

4/5

The bucolic Iveagh Gardens were the backdrop for the four-day Vodafone Comedy Festival, a multi-stage event that brought together home-town comics such as David O’Doherty and international talent, of which cult contrarian Bill Burr was perhaps highest profile.

Burr has gained a global following with his observational humour and grumpy old man cantankerousness. Both were on display as he performed to a packed tent, reducing the audience to quivers with elaborate and surreal gags about Stalin and Hitler.
