As promised we’re back with another bite sized portion of the line up for the Cat Laughs Comedy Festival in Kilkenny, enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

	From Cape Town to Tokyo, Montreal to Mountrath, Colm O’Regan has stood up and made audiences laugh all over the world. He is has done all the major comedy festivals. His TV appearances include Just For Laughs, The World Stands Up on Comedy Central and the Late Late Show. He is also a regular columnist for RTE and the BBC. Last year he toured his show Dislike! to critical acclaim. This year he just wants his mammy.
	Everybody’s favourite skanger is making a break from Dublin’s Northside and heading to Kilkenny for one show only! Direct from ‘The Republic of Telly’ and with four million YouTube hits to his name Damo will be rocking Catapalooza for late night, festival fun.
	David O’Doherty is the stage name of David O’Doherty: comedian, writer and 1990 East Leinster under 14s triple jump bronze medalist. In receiving the if.com Award (formerly The Perrier Award) at the 2008 Edinburgh Festival, he joined a list of former winners that includes Dylan Moran, Steve Coogan and The League of Gentlemen. He is the author of several books, including co-writing the recent 100 Facts About Pandas and 100 Facts About Sharks (2011).

 

 

	Bishop’s famously warm, honest presenting style and restless imagination will be in evidence once again here at the Cat Laughs. Not to be missed.
	Doc Brown began his career in 2000 as a battle rapper and worked with the likes of Mark Ronson, Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse. In 2007 Doc ventured into the world of stand-up comedy and has appeared in all the major comedy festivals as well as presenting his solo show at the Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre in 2010.
	Dom Irrera- I missed last year recuperating from major surgery. I am now 6 foot 3, blonde and have the features of a Mayan warrior. So if you see me walking down John Street, please stop me and say ‘Hi there High Pockets!’
	Recently crowned Irish Standup of the Year, as voted by readers of entertainment.ie, Eric Lalor has gone from strength to strength. He has now garnered a reputation in Irish comedy as a consistent performer, making him one of the most sought after acts in the country.
	Foil, Arms and Hog are former Bic Biro 5-a-side champions, award-winning award awarders and vaguely recognisable from the odd TV advert. Statistically you’ll find at least one of us funny*. *Survey done with 73 housewives in Dundalk.
	Fred Cooke realised at a young age that he would never become a professional footballer. In his teen years it was becoming more unlikely of Radiohead accepting him in as their sixth member. It was this moment that he became a multi-award winning stand-up comedian (even before his first gig). Since that moment he has rapidly become a unique stand-up delivering a style of comedy that simply cannot be imitated.
