The Best of Cork Summer Series is an annual Friday night stand-up series at City Limits, Cork’s longest-established comedy club (founded 1993). Resident comedians Paul Crowley and award-winning Micheal The B Roche headline each show, joined by a rotating cast of Cork’s best stand-ups plus a few travelling acts trying out material ahead of the Edinburgh Festival. Shows run for approximately two and a half hours from 8:30pm to 11pm.
The series runs on Fridays from 12 June through 10 July 2026, with individual dates on 12, 19 and 26 June and 3 and 10 July. City Limits holds around 200 people but keeps an intimate feel.
