May the 4th be with you, always.

Well, we couldn't quite line them up for this evening, given they are super busy and just about sell out every single time but the guys from WOMP Events are back in Bray on May The Fourteenth, with the best quiz this galaxy has ever seen. We have a great feeling about this…

It may be 10 days after May The Fourth, but fear not young Padawan, that just means you have more time for binge-watching and research, which will go towards your Jedi quiz training.

Join us in The Harbour Bar on Thurs 14 May to sort The Chosen Ones from the Bantha Fodder, and bring balance to the Force with the ultimate Star Wars General Kenobi… sorry, General Knowledge Quiz.

If you know your Wookies from your Ewoks, or your Clones from your Stormtroopers, join the WOMP side. This is where the fun begins…

There will be trivia, photo, anagram & audio questions drawn from all live action Star Wars movies & TV series. There will be prizes for the top three teams, plus spot prizes for Best Dressed & Best Team Name.

When: Thursday 14th May

Time: Doors open from 7pm. We'll begin team check-in & photo round from 7pm. Round 2 begins at 8pm once all teams have arrived. Approx end time 10pm

Where: The Harbour Bar (Upstairs)

T&Cs: Seating is on a first come, first served basis. Over 18's only

Tickets: A table for 4 people is €40. A table for 2 people is €20+ booking fees

Hardy Har Comedy Club returns!
It's our first show since our biggest Bray Comedy Festival to date and we've put togetether a line up of acts so popular, that audience members have requested we bring back to Hardy Har Comedy Club.

Brian Gallagher is a critically acclaimed comic with three sell out runs at the Edinburgh Festival and a regular in Ireland's biggest comedy club, The Laughter Lounge. Brian has played the biggest stages in the country and is fast becoming one of the country's most reliable acts.

Chris Watts is a rapidly rising comic who has already performed at Edinburgh Fringe, has supported top Irish comedy names and has secured his spot in the 'award winning' bracket of stand up comics after winning the elusive King Gong competition with Hot Water Comedy Club.

Niamh Ó Neill made a huge impression in the Best New Act Competition heats and grand final this year, impressing both audience members and judges alike. It's no wonder Niamh is fast becoming a circuit favourite and we are delighted to welcome her back to Bray, especially given that our lovely local audience were so keen to invite Niamh back to our stage.

All hosted by resident MC Adam Burke.

This is going to be another fantastic night of FREE COMEDY courtesy of The Harbour Bar, Bray.

Please arrive early to guarantee your seats.
