Another cracking weekend lineup as part of MAYhem, this time featuring Chris Kent, Ger Staunton, Laura Lexx and Alana Jackson.

Chris Kent is fast becoming a household name in Ireland. Alongside being a Cat Laughs favourite, Chris has played every major festival in Ireland, and his own tours have seen him bring his signature observational comedy to the UK and further afield. He has appeared on Russell Howard’s Stand Up Central , The Two Jonnies Late Night Lock In, The Blame Game and more.
“Compelling storyteller, truly surprising, beautifully delivered” – The Scotsman

Ger Staunton is a staple of the Irish comedy scene, hailing from Castlebar, Co.Mayo. He regularly tours America, Europe, the UAE, Scandinavia, the UK and has also brought his shows as far as Iraq and India.
“Immaculately woven anecdotal riffs with a smooth pace and a dark twinkle.” – The Independent
