TROPHY CABINET

"A distinctive, joke-heavy set with some strongly offbeat lines.”- Chortle

“Owned the stage with his sharp, punchy lines that never failed to hit home." - Enterainment.ie

​

“His hilarious and informative takes on science are why he’s a favourite.” - Bright Club Dublin

​

"Dónal Vaughan's unique blend of science and comedy has proved popular with audiences.” - PubSci London

​

"What a treat he was. A Zoologist by training and a comic by inclination, he introduces us to a penis fixated world. He’s funny, rude, clever and sharp. Some jokes were subtle, while others smacked you over the head. His descriptions were sharply observed, detailed and well-constructed. He builds gag on gag sequences that skillfully develop an excellent set." - Fringe Review.co.uk

- Jake Steers

“You can’t help but be in a good mood when you watch Jake on stage. Likeable, natural and very funny.” – Big Deal Comedy 2019

Jake is one of our excellent regulars at The Stand-Up Club. One of the most likeable acts both on and off stage, his conversational style makes audiences feel at ease and always full of laughs. One to watch for the future as he rises up the comedy ranks…

-  Craig Moran

is Irish Comedian that started doing stand up late in life. He was the funny kid in a family of seven, he was the class clown in school and was always the funny friend  his circle. All of this prepared him to do stand up comedy when he finally quit his bar management job and pursued his dreams of being a comedian.

Craig is a regular in all the major comedy clubs in Ireland, gigging with some of the best acts in the country. On stage he is ridiculous, silly and has a lot of energy when he tells stories or he gets into a bit. He also hosts weekly Quiz and Bingo events in the city center.

Hosted by one of our resident compère:

Emman Idama

Emman is a strong name in the Irish Comedy seen, nominated for Irish Comedian Of The Year 2020 & 2021, Chortle Finalist 2019, and many other more awards, he has open for some of the big names in comedy and sports like Seann Walsh, Eric Cantona and more.

'Emman Idama is a more effervescent source of energy, just the thing to keep the spirits up. Idama establishes himself as a warm, charming and thoroughly engaging performer.' - Chortle
