Comedy Cellar at The International Bar

The International Bar has been hosting comedy longer than some of its performers have been alive. The show on Thursday 30 April 2026 starts at 21:00, and it is worth getting there a bit early to be sure of a seat.

What to Expect

The Comedy Cellar at the International Bar is one of the longest-running comedy nights in Dublin and has launched a significant number of the comedians who have gone on to wider success in Ireland and beyond. The format is typically a mix of established acts and newer voices, which keeps the night varied and sometimes surprises you in the best possible way.

The venue itself is small and intimate. The room downstairs has its own atmosphere, and the low ceiling and close quarters make for a more direct connection between performer and audience than you would get in a larger room. Wicklow Street is right in the city centre, which means you can combine it easily with dinner beforehand or a drink somewhere after.

Good to Know

The show starts at 21:00 on Thursday. Tickets are typically available on the door and the price is modest. Check the International Bar’s social media for lineup details closer to the date. Wicklow Street is a short walk from Grafton Street and well served by public transport.
