Napper Tandy's is best for the GAA (and a porcelain throne)

Kehoe's let you smoke in that spot between the Bar & the Jacks though!

Cant wait to catch Bill Bailey. I'm hoping that 'the Trout of No Craic' finally makes a live appearance with the RubberBandits

Furious-Red · 02-08-2017 12:22PM

Delighted with Bill Bailey , seen him a few years ago in the O2 and he was unreal

maximoose · 02-08-2017 12:26PM

Al Porter - when will it end

That is an outstanding line up. Still haven't seen the Rubberbandits.. Bill Bailey better not clash with anyone I like or I'll have to start giving out on Facebook.

I've seen him a few times, the Mrs loves him, and happened to meet him in Galway one night, he's not a bad performer and a genuinely nice guy. Wouldn't be my cup of tea, but there's plenty of other stuff on.

This could be true, but I just find his whole shtick as a comedian to be painfully unfunny and can't understand RTE/Irish medias love for him at all.

Phil Jupitus would be good. Never get to that tent though :rolleyes:

Rigor Mortis · 02-08-2017 12:50PM

That is the best comedy line up in years. I spent a bit of time in there in the afternoons last year, will definitely get in. Great to see Steve Frost back, that group are all Comedy Store regulars.

SoundOfSilence · 02-08-2017 01:08PM

Spent a good few hours there on the Sunday last year as there wad very little I wanted to see. Had a great time at it.

comedy has been crying out for a bigger tent for years

Stillill42 · 02-08-2017 01:22PM

Do Trailer Park have a seperate announcement?

True. I remember last year they attempted to seat everybody, poor few fellows left standing got heckled quite viciously.

Things got a bit aggro at Dylan Moran alright.

They did the last few years

I get that not all people attending festivals are drinking, or drunk etc but I'm surprised to hear so many people are interested in the comedy line ups. I'd never be in the right 'head-space' personally to sit down and watch a comedian at a festival.

Rigor Mortis · 02-08-2017 01:45PM

Comedy tent is great in the afternoon, when you want to sit down relax, drink a beer and have a good time. 30 minute chunks, so there is always a few gaps over the weekend. Most years i just do the improv, but there is some seriously funny people throughout that list.

Great for early in the afternoon, before the madness starts

Deirdre O'Kane, same question

Otherwise, love the comedy tent in the afternoon. Rubberbandits were one of my highlights last year.

Hmm, if my serotonin isn't depleted after the previous night's chemical overload, I might give comedy a chance this year.

Must be strange for a comedian staring out into a sea of sad grey faces with purple lips.

Think the world has had quite enough of Orbs this year...

just found out 2 friends of friends (that go every year and are pretty ****ty to me while there) aren't going this year. Feel relieved and quite happy about that!

It's not the place to be sh**ty to anyone. Stradbally doesn't yearn for bad vibes.

Poorside · 02-08-2017 09:22PM

Tesco doing 24 cans of Bulmers for €28, time to stock up.

As suspected. This year's line up will keep the douchebags and fairweather fans way. Fantastic line up for real music fans of all ages.
