The makings of every great night.

A most excellent night was had, the comedians we had were hilarious and it's always nice when you get Boards.ie specific material

I'm sickened that DeVore won the Postman Pat Transformer in the raffle, but BaconZombie winning JLS tickets has to have been one of the funniest things I've seen this year.

I'm sure well get a count on how much money was raised on the night before too long, so thank you every for showing their support.

Galvasean

Mad innit? Some of Ireland's very best comedians bringing out their A game and yet allof that hilarity paled in comparison to the laugh riot that was BaconZombie winning those tickets!

Great night really enjoyed it, is there a list of the preformers?

I'll try jog my memory (not certain I have the running order right).

Kieran Lawless was the MC.

First half:
The Absurders (improv group) were on first.
Kevin Lockard (Barry White voice guy)
Niamh Marron (blonde lady)

Second half:
Damon Blake (Australian/Canadian hybrid accent)
Jim Elliot (Christian Bale lookalike)

Hey guys,

Brian from The Absurders here - we really enjoyed last night - it was the first time we have ever been asked to "switch back" in that last game we played!

I had to head off soon afterwards - don't suppose there was any chance I won in the raffle?

Twas a great night, I won both the cans of festive tuborg which were promptly drank and the rock biography which I ransomed for a pretty girls phone number. Success.

Was very surprised by the caliber of comedy. Thanks for a great night guys, way to go.

Big thanks to anyone and everyone who came to the gig and made it such a rip roaring sucess! Great gig, Great night for a Great cause!

Roll on next year!!

DeVore

A great success indeed, the final tally comes in at €1,034.

Last year we fitted out an entire Rehab play room for about that sum, so hopefully we will be able to do something similar this year!

Many thanks to the two lads for all the hard work and effort, yer legends!

That is amazing!! This makes it all worthwhile! Took years off my life but completely worth every second!

Yo,
Jim Elliott here, I was the last act on.
I had a great time- thanks to all who came out in the crap weather, y'all were a great crowd.

Cheers as well to Graham- these things are total pains in the hole to set up, and it went well.

Damon Blake

Hello, I was the second last act on and I think Jim should be banned from Boards.ie.

DeVore

Gas all these comedians who were slagging boardsies and they have accounts from 2008 etc hehehe... ;p

Thanks again guys, ye were awesome!!

Calling for a banning is against the charter.

I think you should read the charter that I have helpfully printed out, framed, and installed IN YOUR MOTHERS POOP CHUTE! HOW YA LIKE THAT BLAKE!!

Damon Blake

Jesus Jim, even after she took you in and raised you as one of her own you can't help but attack her.

She'll be heartbroken, I hope you have a lovely Christmas, alone with your whiskey and misspelt tattoos.
