Thanks
March 4th, 2010 by donal
That’s it for another run of comedy. It’s been short and sweet and all that is left to do now is thank everyone who made it down to the shows. We really enjoyed ourselves and we hope you did too.
We’ll be back sometime in September/October, so make sure to keep an eye on the site.

Jason Byrne
Jason’s inspired, original brand of high-energy lunacy ensures that there is no other comedian presently like him. His fast, free-wheeling style, fused with an array of offbeat props, makes his act a helter-skelter of a show – where the audience are promised the ride of their lives.
John Colleary
Dublin-based John Colleary is a regular compere at a number of gigs in Ireland, including the Craic In The Box, in his native Sligo. He appeared in the C4 Comedy Lab pilot Headwreckers and is half of the wacky cop duo TJ & TJ (with Bernard O’Shea), who are regulars on Today FM’s Last Word.

We’re are truly delighted to finally have Tony Law play Queen’s Comedy. This is the fourth attempt to get him here and this ones gonna count. Tony is without a doubt one of our all time favourite comics. Bizarre, but yet genius at the same time. He is truly not to be missed. He will be supported by the wonderful Eleanor Tiernan and resident compere Colin Murphy.
Tony Law
Like a rolling ball of funny with bits flying out of it, Tony Law’s infectious comedy will leave you stranded in a hilarious field of ideas. Half Canadian, half Trinidadian, Tony spent many years developing his unique, scattergun, surreal style and is now established as one of the most exciting headline acts around. His laid back ‘acid-casualty’ approach, combined with scorching jokes and incisive remarks, have endeared him to both live and TV audiences here and abroad.
“Tony Law, the sherpa of stand-up, leads an expedition to undiscovered alpin uplands of laughter” Stewart Lee
“Tony Law takes a highly-enjoyable crap on comedy conventions, and manages to be clever in a way that doesn’t make you want to throttle him” Adam Buxton
Eleanor Tiernan
Eleanor Tiernan is without a doubt one of Ireland’s top female comics. Within just a year of starting stand-up Eleanor was asked to perform in Dublin’s Vicar St for the RTE production The Liffey Laughs, and BBC’s One Night Stand. She also played 120 shows as the support act for Tommy Tiernan’s Bovinity Tour, playing to over 120,000 people.

Wednesday 17th sees a welcome return from one of the top female comics in the business. Sarah Millican will bring her very own unique brand of filth to the Mandela being joined by Mr Gary Delaney.
Sarah Millican
One of the hottest comics on today’s circuit, performing at all the
top comedy clubs, Sarah has established herself as a crowd-pleasing
act with well-written material and a gentle delivery style that
disguises her cutting observations on life. An experienced and hard
working live performer, she deservingly won the Best Newcomer at the
If.Comedy Awards at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2008.
“probably the finest female comedian working at the moment” – Time Out
Gary Delaney
Gary is a hard hitting, one-liner based comedian whose
tightly-written, original material makes him one of the most quoted
comics on the circuit. Respected by peers and audiences alike, his
brilliant, razor-sharp and often dark lines win over any crowd and
leave them struggling to remember all the ones they want to tell
later.

Lloyd Langford
A prolific writer and performer, Lloyd Langford is proving himself to be a highly sought after act with his striking combination of natural wit undercut with a playful curiosity. Born in Wales but currently living in London, Langford’s act is an ever-evolving mixture of personal anecdotes, memorable one-liners and topical material.
“One of the sharpest comedic minds on the circuit.” The Guardian
“The sharpest of comedy instincts and an innate grasp of timing and pace…Makes stand-up look deceptively simple.” Chortle
James Goldsbury
James Goldsbury, Ireland’s 3rd tallest comedian headlines most of the clubs in Ireland such as The International in Dublin, the Empire in
Belfast around Ireland. In addition, he recently starred in and wrote for “Headweckers” on Channel 4 TV along with his comedy mates.
“…a wide ranging set of inclusive and engaging humour – with a particularly infectious delight and excellence in accents – from a fine
performer making his way up the comedy ladder. One to catch now before he’s huge.” – Metro
