Bulmers Comedy Festival line-up announced

The line-up for the Bulmers Comedy Festival has been announced, and there are some serious treats in store for Irish audiences this September. Leading the way is Michael McIntyre, whose Live and Laughing is now the biggest selling debut comedy DVD of all time. McIntyre will exclusively preview his new show at the Olympia on September 6.

Also Dublin bound are Janeane Garofalo (the one-time Larry Sanders actress, now starring in 24), Al Madrigal from the Axis of Evil, Maz Jobrani, Jimmy Carr and Rich Hall. Elsewhere, the Academy will host shows by Dan Antopolski and Guy Pratt, the Nothing Butt Funny talent search goes nationwide, and Dead Cat Bounce return to the Sugar Club.

Tickets for all shows are now available from ticketmaster.ie
