It’s mad to think that it’s all over for another year!
After the first edition of Wile Craic Comedy Festival last year, we immediately set out to try and make it bigger and better for 2026. More shows. More comedians.
Looking at it, we were probably a little too ambitious, but after seeing so many happy faces over the weekend, we’re over the moon with how it all panned out.
10 shows. 27 comedians. 4 venues. Done and dusted.
Thank you to all the comedians that joined us, most notably our very own , and the legend , who gave us their whole weekend. Their enthusiasm alone encouraged us to push on with this year!

Lastly, thank you to everyone who came out. It’s such a challenging time to run events when you’re asking people to spend hard-earned money, but we hope that all of you that came along enjoyed the shows.
See you all next year - 21-23 May 2027!
