Tuesday Night Comedy Club at Roisin Dubh Galway

What to Expect

Roisin Dubh runs a Tuesday night comedy showcase built around up-and-coming talent, offered alongside two of its silent disco nights, giving the evening a slightly more relaxed, low-cost feel than the venue’s Friday headline show. For €5 at the door, the ticket covers stand-up comedy, a pint of Tuborg, and entry into the silent disco that follows once the comedy wraps up. It is one of the better value nights out in Galway city and draws a mixed crowd of comedy regulars and people simply looking for a cheap, entertaining night in the West End. The line-up leans towards newer acts building stage time, so the tone is looser and more experimental than a polished touring show, though the venue’s reputation means the standard is usually solid. Roisin Dubh has run some form of Tuesday comedy showcase for years, and it sits alongside the venue’s better-known Friday and Thursday comedy nights as part of what has made the West End address one of the most consistent comedy addresses outside Dublin.
