SATURDAY 5TH OCTOBER - EARLY SHOW
Doors 5pm / Show at 5:30pm
Craic Den Comedy Club brings the best Irish and international comedians to the stage every week in Dublin city. As seen on their acclaimed TV show on Virgin Media and millions of views on social media, The Craic Den will deliver you an abundance of laughs all evening.
Sinead Quinlan
Sinéad Quinlan is a 26 year old toasted cheese sandwich fanatic from Cork. She is a rapidly rising comedy star. So rapid in fact, in early 2020 she won RTÉ’s national stand up competition, ‘Stand Up and Be Funny’ on the Ray D’Arcy Show (RTE1), with only seven gigs under her belt! And followed that with her RTÉ Player series, Seriously Sinéad? - with a second season in production. You will have also seen her co-hosting The Den on RTÉ2. Her brilliant, surreal descriptions of everyday life will have you in stitches.
