Outpost Comedy Club at Monroe's Live Galway

What to Expect

Outpost Comedy Club has become a regular fixture on Monday nights at Monroe’s Live, one of Galway city’s best-known live music venues, which turns its stage over to stand-up comedy to start the week. It is a seated show, and each week brings a different headline comedian with support acts, so the exact line-up changes from Monday to Monday rather than following a fixed cast. Recent editions have featured Irish stand-ups such as Ian Burke and Owen Colgan, giving a sense of the level of comic the club typically books, though the headliner for any given week is best confirmed on Monroe’s own ticketing page before booking. Reviewers have flagged it as a solid, dependable comedy night for a Monday, when there is not always much else on in the city. Monroe’s is better known as a live music venue, with gigs running most nights of the week, so Outpost gives the room a different rhythm at the start of the week and draws a slightly different crowd than the venue’s music bookings.
