• Adam Burke

"Showman. Adam Burke is a showman- an energetic, irrepressible, gag- spouting showman." Adam Burke's reputation as one of the country's finest comedy hosts has recently taken him to the biggest stages including 3 Arena, Live At The Marquee, Vicar Street, Liberty Hall, RDS, Cork Opera House and The INEC Arena and to hosting top festival stages that include Electric Picnic, All Together Now Festival, and many more.

And whilst perhaps best known for regularly fronting the global phenomenon Bingo Loco, Adam is a well established stand up act who has shared the stage with top Irish and international comedians like Tommy Tiernan, Dylan Moran, Deirdre O Kane, Jason Byrne, Joanne McNally, Enya Martin, The Rubberbandits and Reginald D Hunter, to name but a few.
