Owen Colgan, often described as the last hard man of Mayo and former Hardy Buck, will headline the event, promising a set packed with laughs.

The show has been brought forward in response to popular demand, giving fans a chance to catch the hard-hitting comedian earlier in the evening.

Hosting the evening is Tom O'Mahony, the moustached master of ceremonies, while the opening act will feature Breda Hegarty.

Hegarty has already racked up an impressive list of accolades, including Best New Act at the 2025 Bray Comedy Festival, Best Comedian at the DICFF Stand-Up Competition, and a semi-final place in the 2025 BBC Funny Women competition.

She was also named by BBC Funny Women as one of 15 women to watch in 2025.

Tickets are expected to sell quickly, with Colgan described as the hardest man this side of the Shannon and a must-see performer for comedy fans. 

An earlier show has recently been added due to the high demand. 

The show promises a lively evening of stand-up, with Colgan and a host of rising stars delivering sharp wit and guaranteed laughter.
