Iain Stirling, Deirdre O'Kane, Ardal O'Hanlon, Garron Noone, Maisie Adam, Jareth Regan, Kevin McGahern, Fred Cooke, Shane Clifford, Fred Cooke and Emma Doran, and many others, will all take to the stage
Headlining on Saturday is the peerless Russell Howard, one of the world’s top comedians with over 9 million followers on social media, he is the undoubted, uplifting comedy king. Apparently ageless, hugely physical, his relentlessly funny performances have been a mainstay of TV schedules for more than 15 years, with his infectious humor, genuine personality and ability to connect with audiences on a deep level, he has become one of the most beloved and respected comedians in the world.
“Go big or go home,” they said and not wanting to leave the Electric Picnic site too early, the organisers of the Comedy Stage took the advice quite literally and have only gone and booked some of the biggest names in the business to delight your mind, tickle your ribs and leave you smiling from ear to ear over the festival weekend.
Leading the very strong home charge is one of the world’s best-loved stand-up comedians, Ardal O’Hanlon. Despite all his TV and acting credits , he continues to tour with his punchy but absurd life - enhancing comedy worldwide, whilst trying to preserve his dignity by avoiding panel shows and reality TV shows!
Arguably the hardest-working and most prolific comedian in the country right now, Emma Doran, has had huge success with her online comedy sketches and her nonstop gigging in some of the country’s biggest venues, including the 3 Arena and Vicar Street. Comedy fans the length and breadth of the country will be well up-to-speed on the bona fides of stalwarts like Eric Lalor, Bernard Casey, Kevin McGahern, Patrick McDonnell, Fred Cooke, Shane Clifford, John Colleary, Paul Marsh, Fred Cooke, Damian Clark, Anna Clifford and the outrageous Joe Dowlin.
