Clonmel set to be more than a barrel of laughs

The Rubberbandits, Pat Shortt and Edinburgh Festival-winner David O’Doherty are just three of the headline acts set to take to the stage later this month for the sixth Bulmers Comedy Festival in Clonmel.

Despite its relatively short history, the festival has seen O’Keeffe’s in Clonmel become “comedy central” for the four-day event with some of the sharpest and funniest comedians from this country, Britain and beyond heading to the Co Tipperary town for the four-day event.

Others set to feature from Nov 22 to 25 include Tom Stade, Patrick Monahan, Simon Evans, Alun Cochrane and Tony Law, with the full line-up including the cream of the comedy crop from Canada, Norway, the US and the UK.
