Bray Comedy Festival back this February with stellar line-up and more locations

The Bray Comedy Festival is back for its seventh year with a stellar line-up and more locations.

The festival will have 17 shows and more than 50 acts in just five nights, kicking off with a Best New Act Competition on 15 February which will see the winner perform at major festivals and top comedy stages. While the majority of the events will take place at the Harbour Bar in Wicklow, this year the festival will include locations in Greystones.

“We are really proud and excited of the growth of Bray Comedy Festival,” the organisers said. “This year we have expanded our festival to include our Greystones neighbours with some top notch gigs at Whale Theatre and Hot Spot Music Club, Greystones.”

Among the other comedians you can see at the festival are the critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe Festival sell-outs Paul Currie and Wicklow native Danny O’Brien, the hugely popular Anna Clifford and Emily Ashmore, as well as two-time Irish Comedian of the Year winner Eric Lalor and ‘queen of Irish comedy’ Deirdre O’Kane.
