    Must see in Dublin!
    Had a long weekend in Dublin and did everything touristy that you can think of. This was by far the best thing we did! Great atmosphere and my body hurt from laughing before we sat down. Bryan Gallagher had amazing crowd work and would highly recommend to anyone in the area. Would give it 6 stars if I couple!!

    Cozy and comical Craic den
    Decided to book a comedy club evening because we all know Irish comedians are next level! It was within the workman’s club which had an awesome vibe and the comedians were absolutely hilarious! For €12 it was a wonderful evening and if we ever take another trip to Dublin we will definitely be coming back!

    First and funniest show!
    It was The my first comedy show ever attended and it did not disappoint!!🥳🥳 So hillarious, and great material. Each comadian was so unique. The accent and quickness of speech made it a little hard to understand as a foreigner travelling to Dublin, but The atmosphere was amazing and even if i didn’t understand it i still laughed. Best experience here in Dublin! I haven’t laughed so hard in a while. Host Eddie Mullarkey really carried The crowd through The entire show with comedic breaks in between different comedians😂😂😂

    Dublin family visit
    I don’t usually go to comedy clubs, this only my second time. Venue is a bit small but comedy and content was very good. There were three acts the night we went, I can’t remember his name, but he was 5’2’’ and very funny. Worth a visit if you are in Dublin

    Comedy Gem in Dublin
    We didn't plan to go to this show (July 12th) but so pleased we did! Just a spontaneous decision after being handed a flyer in the street and a quick walk to catch the 7:30pm show. The host was great, and the acts brilliant - great to hear a room full of strangers and friends laughing together in Dublin :'-) Thanks for a fab evening, Heidi & Paul

    Great Craic!!
    We had an amazing time on a random Wednesday (doesn’t matter what day it is if you’re doing a midweek trip to Dublin) and right craic at the club. Great comedians and good drinks. Really great host @damoclarkcomedy and even though Andy caused some trouble (wort heckler ever) think the comedians that night shown the professionalism they all hold! If you’re looking something to do with an evening whilst out and about in Dublin, pop along and support some amazing performances!! If you’re walking about the centre, if you see someone holding a sign for the craic den, they’ll have cards you can use to have discount, every little helps!

    A Cozy Comedy Club with NO minimum food or drink requirements!
    This is a cozy comedy club which seats close to 60 people. It is performed in a side room within The Workmans Club. Note: The Craic Den rooms do NOT serve Food or Drinks, thus they have no minimum item ordering requirements like in the USA. You can bring drinks into the comedy club section. If you want a drink, the best option is one of the Workmans Club bars, which is right across the hall. They serve beer, ciders, spirits & mixed drinks, and nonalcoholic options. Oh yeah, there is one wine option - a Cabernet Sauvignon.

This was an excellent show! We went to the comedy show before going out for the night in Dublin and it was the perfect thing. The comics were amazing. I felt like they knew how to appeal to the audience which was made of mostly non-Irish folks. We got there about 10 min before the start and got great seats. They also had a small intermission to get a drink or use the restroom halfway through.

This was a really fun night out and a great alternative to bar-hopping. Host Eddie Malarky was a riot. The location upstairs in the Workman's building is sticky, has a bar area with inside/outside pre-show seating, and there is tight seating in the performance room. We recommend getting there early to grab a drink and choose a seat.

Amazing night as always. Great comedians and recommended for a good night out!! Real buzz on Friday night and different comedians every time from all over the world so if you go back, you know you'll get something different every time. Don't miss it. Seriously intertwining.

Even though going to this show was a last minute decision I have to say we were not disappointed.
My friends and I had a great time and a good laugh, all the comediants were very funny and brilliants at interacting with the audience. Definitely worth the money and I'm looking forward to the next show!

We had an absolutely amazing night in the craic den. The venue is small and cosy, which gives it a great atmosphere and allows the comedians to really engage with the audience.

Damo made a great MC and kept the audience on their toes with his quick wit and great banter. He brings another level of energy to the room and is brilliant at accents and impressions.

All 4 comedians were brilliant and I left the venue with a sore face from laughing.

My only regret was not getting here early enough to get a front row seat so I could be involved in the show!

Thanks for a great night - I will definitely be back very soon.

Best comedy in Ireland! We’ve been to a few different comedy places while travelling and the Craic den has been the best we’ve seen. Varied line up of comedians, and we’ve been multiple times as they have new acts every week, so good!

We are two older ladies from the north down in Dublin for a couple of days and decided to give the craic den a go. The host Eddie is hilarious, a very funny man. The other 3 comedians were also very funny. It was a great night out and I would thoroughly recommend

Had a great evening seeing this crew. Great show and something different to do in the city instead of just drinking (although you can still enjoy a pint watching this!) So entertaining from the get go & you'll be leaving wiping away tears of laughter. It's not easy to stand up there so fair dues to ye, already can't wait for the next one!
