9PM – Jarlath Regan – Players Theatre – €5
Jarlath Regan dreamed of being a professional basketball player but shelved the ambition due to a combination of injuries and on the early on-set of “cop on”. The NBA’s loss has been stand-up comedy’s gain, and in the following years he has gained a reputation with the industry and audiences for his uplifting, inventive and relentlessly funny stand-up.

So whose excited to hear Jarlath Regan is recording another stand-up comedy album? The last one was such a success you’re all being invited to share in the fun of recording this one…

Come to the recording of Jarlath’s new standup comedy album “Jarlath Regan…Ha,Ha,Ha!” on November 21st at Dublin’s biggest comedy club the Laughter Lounge. At this stage Jarlath is a familiar face. He is the guy you saw on Russell Howard’s Good News, The Panel or on the street that time you said to your friend “I think I know that guy”. He is also the man who wrote the best-selling book “How To Break Bad News”, the creator of hit quiz show “Standup & Answers” and the same fella the Independent called “the funniest man living in Ireland today”.

The show is a collection of Jarlath’s newest funniest material to date including stories, greeting cards and illustrated findings from his research. Come down and see how he manages to record visual material on to an audio album or just laugh at his attempt to do so. Support on the night will come a surprise guest yet to be announced.

Now we know you’ve already checked out the line up yourselves but in case you’re suffering from indecision we’ve decided to help you out with our pick of the bunch!

In an ideal world we’d obviously love to see ALL the comedians perform but since we can’t be everywhere at once (and can’t afford all those tickets!) this would be our wish list…

Thursday 25th Tony Law- Maximum Noise, Benny Boot, Danny Dowling, Colin Murphy @ Kelly’s 8pm – with a collection of comedians like that it’s bound to be an off-the-wall fun time!
