Summer is a happy festival laden season with a variety of events to suit every taste popping up all around the country. Today the 2nd annual Kerry Comedy Festival kicks off with a Father Ted Night at 8.30pm in The Laurel’s Pub in Killarney. Joe Rooney, Patrick McDonnell and Paul Tylak will be headlining the Father Ted bill and Paddy Cullivan (Late Late Show Camenbert Quartet) and Ursula Burns (who you’ll remember as the Winner of the Irish Musical Comedy Awards 2012) adding support. Tickets are just €18 so you’d be mad not to drop in and check out such a stellar line-up!

With tickets once again only costing €18 it’s sure to be a great value evening of laughter and fun.

Finally the festival will close on Sunday July 1st in The Hillgrove Hotel Dingle with Colm O’Regan and his brilliant show Ireland’s Got Mammies. Tickets are just €12 and include support from the very entertaining Colum McDonnell.
