Paddy Power Comedy Festival

Iveagh Gardens
July 27th-30th

Between July 27th and 30th, Paddy Power are taking our side-hustle in internet lols to a literal greener pasture, and hosting some of the biggest names in comedy at the Paddy Power Comedy Festival, in Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens, for 4 nights of stand-up.
Sit near the front, you’ll be fine. Will Smith is not invited.

I get really nervous buying groceries online.
I hate putting all my eggs in one basket.

I backed a horse last week at 10 to 1.
It came in at quarter past four.

I was addicted to the hokey cokey, but then I turned myself around.

People who use selfie sticks really need to have a good, long look at themselves.

You never forget how to throw a boomerang.
It always comes back to you.
Despite a stiff neck, bowed back and feeling strung out,
my doctor says I’m as fit as a fiddle.

It takes a lot of balls to play golf the way I do.

Jokes about online shopping don’t need much setup.
It’s all in the delivery.

My friend, a milliner, got fired for skiving off work.
She’d just leave at the drop of a hat.

Earth, Venus and Mars were going to organise a party.
Unfortunately nobody knew how to planet.

People are shocked when they find out how bad I am as an electrician.

Got fired from the calendar factory.
All I did was take a day off.

Where sport meets comedy, like Man Utd.

I used to think I was indecisive.
Now I’m not so sure.

If you want to set up a company and run it then that’s your business.

If you want to set up a company and run it then that’s your business.

People who use selfie sticks really need to have a good, long look at themselves.

I backed a horse last week at 10 to 1.
It came in at quarter past four.
Jokes about online shopping don’t need much setup.
It’s all in the delivery.
I get really nervous buying groceries online.
I hate putting all my eggs in one basket.

It takes a lot of balls to play golf the way I do.

Earth, Venus and Mars were going to organise a party.
Unfortunately nobody knew how to planet.
You never forget how to throw a boomerang.
It always comes back to you.

People are shocked when they find out how bad I am as an electrician.

I was addicted to the hokey cokey, but then I turned myself around.

Where sport meets comedy, like Man Utd.

Despite a stiff neck, bowed back and feeling strung out,
my doctor says I’m as fit as a fiddle.
My friend, a milliner, got fired for skiving off work.
She’d just leave at the drop of a hat.
I used to think I was indecisive.
Now I’m not so sure.
Got fired from the calendar factory.
All I did was take a day off.

Iveagh Gardens
July 27th-30th

The Iveagh Gardens is a garden (shocker) smack bang in the middle of Dublin, but it’s hidden away behind the National Concert Hall, so it’s got that cool, “oh you’ve never been to the Iveagh Gardens?” thing going on. The entrance is just off Harcourt Street. We’d tell you how to get there, but come on – it’s the 21st century. Put it into Google Maps.
