Clubh Comedy Nights - Roisin Dubh Friday Stand-Up

What to Expect

Clubh is Roisin Dubh’s flagship Friday night comedy show and one of the longest-running weekly comedy nights in the west of Ireland. Every Friday, the venue’s upstairs club room hosts a bill of professional comics working through the best of current Irish and international stand-up, with sketch and improv acts occasionally added to the mix. Roisin Dubh has built a genuine reputation on the Irish and European comedy circuit, and past line-ups here have included well-known names such as Stewart Lee, Phill Jupitus and Rich Hall alongside strong Irish headliners. Because the room only holds a modest crowd, the atmosphere stays intimate even when a big name is on the bill, and the quality of the acts tends to be a notch above a typical pub comedy night.

Good to Know

• Every Friday night, all year round, doors and show from around 9:00pm
• Entry is €10, which includes a free shot of Jager at the start of the show
• Price can run higher than €10 on nights with a major headliner, so it is worth checking the week’s line-up in advance
• Line-up rotates weekly and mixes established Irish comics with international touring acts
• Roisin Dubh is widely regarded as one of the best small comedy rooms in Ireland
• This is a separate night from the venue’s Tuesday comedy showcase and Thursday’s Tigh He-He club, so check which night suits before booking
• Best booked or checked via roisindubh.net, since bigger names can sell out
