    The 'launch' of this was last night, but there is no other mention of when it starts / where it is / who's playing it.... any ideas anyone?

    Found a bit on entertainment.ie
    It's in the Sugar Club. Ricky Grover, Tom Stade, John Moloney, Ian Coppinger and Karl Spain all played last night apparently. Started at half seven.

    Just found this:


    Comedy chain tests Irish market
    Thursday, 26 June 2008 11:05

    Comedy club chain Jongleurs is planning to set up in Ireland with an initial €200,000 investment.

    Commercial entertainment consultant Peter Dennehy and his business partner Tim Stone are spearheading the Irish project for the chain, which employs more than 1,000 people and has an annual turnover of £25m a year.

    They say the initial plan for the first year is to test the market, with a view to investing a further €2m in venues around the country. There will be a 'Jongleurs on Tour' programme, while a Chirstmas event aimed at the corporate market will take place in Leopardstown in Dublin.
