Galway Comedy Festival – John Bishop, Milton Jones, Emma Doran, Elliot Steel, Karl Spain

John Bishop is one the UK’s biggest names in comedy. Within three years of his first ever gig, John was playing sold-out arena audiences across the country, and released the fastest selling stand-up DVD in UK history.

Milton Jones is regularly on Mock the Week (BBC2), has appeared on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC1), Live at the Apollo (BBC1) and he has headlined Dave’s One Night Stand (DAVE).

What an amazing year it’s been for new comedy superstar Emma Doran. She’s just completed her first Irish tour, a total sell out nationwide including 3 nights in Vicar St and her first solo London shows as well as having a chart topping podcast “And Another Thing”

Elliot Steel, despite being in his twenties, is a veteran of the British comedy circuit. Starting at sixteen, he has wowed audiences and impressed critics. Having multiple viral clips, Steel is becoming a voice for those in their mid-twenties with his dark but intelligent style.

There is no better MC in Ireland than Karl Spain, and often no better night of comedy than Galway Comedy Festival’s Late Night KARLnival! The show, where comedians perform their darker, edgier material – and you never know who will turn up on the night – in front of Galway’s hardest core comedy fans is both institution and unmissable event.
