At The Pearse Centre · The Pearse Centre, 27-30 Pearse Street, Dublin 2
Auto-Correbt is a comedy night that’s figured out something quite sensible: if you let people bring their own drinks, they relax, and when audiences relax, comedy lands better. The BYOB format at The Pearse Centre keeps ticket prices low (from €9) and shifts the evening’s atmosphere from “night out at a venue” to “a bunch of people in a room watching comedy together with their own wine.”
The Pearse Centre on Pearse Street is a well-used community and arts venue in Dublin 2, with a performance space that’s the right size for this kind of night. Not so small it feels cramped, not so big that the comedians are projecting into the void.
A lineup of stand-up acts curated by Auto-Correbt. The format is typically three or four acts across an evening, with Auto-Correbt hosting. The comedy circuit in Dublin is active and the acts that play nights like this are working comedians building sets rather than amateurs testing material, so the quality is consistent.
Bring your drinks, bring a friend, settle in. Bank holiday Friday in Dublin and a comedy night at €9 is not a bad way to start May.
