Rhys Darby

Audiences may know Rhys Darby as the hapless band manager Murray in Flight of the Conchords, gentleman pirate Stede Bonnet in Our Flag Means Death, or from turns in Jumanji, Yes Man, and The X-Files. But it's live and unscripted where Darby truly comes alive — gloriously odd, endlessly inventive, and never quite doing what you expect. Five stand-up specials deep, with a novel, children's book, and podcast to his name, Rhys brings his singular brand of chaos back to Galway. Expect flights of fancy, deadpan asides, and comedy that goes places you didn't see coming.

"He’s got that Peter Sellers madness inside him"

Silent Disco at Róisín Dubh

One of Galway’s favourite nights out and a Tuesday night institution at Róisín Dubh, the Silent Disco is the place to sing your heart out to crowd-pleasing anthems, classics, and guilty pleasures. Get your headphones on the way in and switch between the two DJs to see who is playing the songs you most want to sing and dance to. Need a break? Take off the headphones and marvel at the bizarre spectacle of a room packed with people dancing and singing different songs, often decidedly off-key, to an absolutely silent soundtrack.
