Wicklow Comedy Club at O'Shea's Corner

Wicklow Comedy Club runs regular stand-up nights in the Loft Venue above O’Shea’s Corner in Wicklow Town, with the next confirmed show on Friday, 18 September 2026. The club started upstairs in O’Shea’s earlier in 2026 and has since brought a run of well-known names from the Irish circuit to the room, including Ardal O’Hanlon, Emma Doran, Colin Murphy, Fred Cooke and Karl Spain across its shows to date, usually with an MC and at least three acts on each bill.

What to expect

Shows follow a standard club format: an MC opens and links the night, followed by three or more stand-up sets from a mix of headliners and support acts, running to roughly two hours. Past bills have paired one big name with newer or regional acts, so a night out typically means seeing more than one act rather than a single headline set. The room is a pub function space rather than a theatre, so it has the close, informal feel of a small comedy club night, and it has been busy enough on previous dates that early booking is worth doing.
