I’m Not As Well As I Thought I Was
Ruby Wax
After a complete sell-out first run in 2023, Ruby Wax's rawest, darkest, funniest and most compelling stage show yet is coming to Ireland in Autumn 2024, due to enormous demand. ‘I’m Not As Well As I Thought I Was’ is Ruby’s first tour show in four years following her critically acclaimed, sell-out tour, ‘How To Be Human’. Ruby Wax said of this new show: “The original idea behind this show was based on the extreme journeys that I wanted to take in order to find an antidote to living a frazzled life.

“Hilarious... If laughter is the best medicine, Jimeoin is a course of steroids.... Don’t you miss it!” - Edinburgh Evening News
Who’s Your Man?!
Jimeoin
The internationally acclaimed Jimeoin returns to Galway Comedy Festival this October with a hilarious evening of world-class stand-up on his brilliantly funny tour show ‘Who’s Your Man?!’ Jimeoin’s show at last year’s Festival sold out six weeks in advance, so don’t miss your chance to enjoy his cheeky no-gimmicks and superbly observed sense of humour. Yours may be one of the hundreds of millions of views of his online comedy clips, or perhaps you’ve seen his fantastic TV appearances on ‘Live at the Apollo’, ‘The Royal Variety Performance’ or ‘Conan O’Brien’... but NOTHING beats seeing this Irish observational joke-master where he is most at home: live-on-stage

Michelle Wolf
When Dave Chapelle, Jimmy Kimmel, Trevor Noah and Seth Meyers are moved to defend your comedy you must be doing something right. Wolf’s White House Correspondents’ routine during the Trump presidency caused something of a stir. Described as “a vulgar, vibrant truth teller” (Paste) and as “the voice comedy needs right now” (The Village Voice), Wolf is often controversial, is sometimes, in her own words “insufferable”, but as a host of awards and critical acclaim show, she is a modern comedy master.
