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 with millions of views across social media, the Craic Den delivers a seriously good night of live comedy from start to finish.
Bernard O'Shea
Comedian & actor Bernard has written, starred in, and produced the acclaimed RTÉ series Bridget and Eamon, Marty and Bernard: On the Road Again and Bernard’s Working Comics.
Bernard hosted “Breakfast Republic” on 2FM for five years and “IRadio Breakfast.” He continues to enrich the airwaves as a content provider for The Ray Darcy Show and as a regular voice on RTE Radio 1.
Padraig Williams
Fast becoming a familiar face on the Irish comedy scene, Williams regularly hosts and performs at Dublin’s iconic International Comedy Club. His skilled storytelling and hilarious material have earned him slots at festivals including Electric Picnic and this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival with his debut show ‘No Star Reviews’.
Padraig recently featured on Virgin Media's Craic Den Comedy Club TV show and received rave reviews for his honest and sharp performance.
Pat McDonnell
Patrick McDonnell is an Irish comedy legend. He has starred in pretty much every hit Irish comedy show on TV. The outrageous RTÉ hidden camera Naked Camera, Moone Boy, Don't Feed The Gondolas, The Young Offenders and the sketch show Stew. However he is probably best remembered at home and abroad for his role as Eoin McLove in the Channel 4 sitcom Father Ted.
Plus your MC Casey Gothard
Casey Gothard is a pro comedian from Australia known for her sharp, brash, and unapologetically risqué comedy. With an acid tongue and a quick wit, she's become a staple on the late-night club circuit, delivering hard jokes with even harder punchlines. Fearless, funny, and ferociously fast on the mic, Casey’s stand-up leaves no topic untouched and no heckler unscathed.
