CRoiACT Pronounced /krækt/ or /craic’d/ 

After a hugely successful debut last year, CroíACT (pronounced “Craic’d”) is set to return as part of #GCF25. Last year’s inaugural event raised an incredible €20,000 (€10k each) for two local charities — Croí and ACT for Meningitis — as eight brave members of the Galway community stepped far outside their comfort zones to deliver stand-up comedy routines after a training programme with well-known comedian Karl Spain. CroíACT is a unique fundraiser, combining laughter and heart with community spirit. Don’t miss your chance to cheer on eight new brave souls for two great causes.

Lisa Traynor: Louder than a trad session after midnight, funnier than your uncle at a wedding.
