- James M1 contributionWorld class.Actually the best comedy gig i was at. Small room makes the act personal and crowd interaction is top notch. Must go for tourists as well as Irish natives. Maybe don’t go if easily offended!Visited February 2020Travelled with friendsWritten 21 February 2020
- Kevin R3 contributionsMakes for a great nightIf you're in Galway, it really is a must-do experience. The hosts and the comedians are great and it was actually quite nice to see a comedy show in that sort of atmosphere. They really know how to read the room and it feels like the whole audience is in there together as part of the night. It was just fun to laugh and enjoy the night with people from all over the world. If you have just a couple of things to do in Galway because of a short pass-through like use (2 nights), make this a priority. We are glad we did!Visited October 2022Written 26 October 2022
- Mark CChicago, Illinois4 contributionsA must see in Galway!This was an absolute highlight of my trip to Galway! All the comics were fantastic, got the crowd involved and laughing together regardless of where we came from, and we all left with inside jokes and nicknames. Even if you go alone, you’ll leave with a (tiny) room full of new friends. I work in comedy in the US and this is on par with some of the best shows I’ve seen in New York/Chicago/LA. You have to check it out if you’re in Galway on a Thursday!Visited November 2022Travelled soloWritten 4 November 2022

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Perfect night out in Galway, lots of laughs. All the comedians were great, and it was eye opening to get a feel of what locals think.

This really should be a must-do in Galway. Was a genuine surprise, and the best 7 Euros entertainment you can have. Very entertaining and funny. Can make the show and still have plenty of time for the pubs. Add this to your list of things to do. You'll have a great time.

What a Hoot! For 8euros a great entertaining evening. The show was 2 hours long. Were some acts better than others, yes. It was still worth going. We had a fun filled laughing experience.

The tax Man is checking in, what a brilliant show this was one of the highlights of our trip. We both agree we would make the travel down again just for the show. Johnny is AClass and drop dead funny whom makes the crowed feel part of the show. 5 star performance from all performers. Would highly recommend going.

Great craic! Fun, inexpensive idea for an evening. Very international and diverse crowd mixed in with the locals and Irish from outside of Galway too. Would recommend to others and I'd return for another visit as well.

This little show is an absolute gem that will unexpectedly turn into the highlight of your trip to Galway. An intimate, bawdy atmosphere where you will be welcomed with open-arms and made to feel like you belong; you're part of the gang for the night. The host Johnny is an exceptionally skilled and versatile comedian and all round top bloke. This show is special; make it a priority on your schedule for Galway.

For anyone visiting the west this is a must ! It was my first show and was very skeptical about how it was going to go . I can honestly say I laughed from the first minute to the last . I have already looked into booking for next week . A must, for anyone in Galway .

Hi there, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We can handle groups of up to 40 and we book for private parties, so we can do either one of those nights for you. You can message us further through our FB page to organise if you like.
