Bray Brings The Funny

You’ve either got chemistry or you don’t…

ith his monthly Hardy Har hooleys at The Harbour Bar one of the finest (free) nights out around here, Adam Burke is once again taking over Bray this February for a whole week of chuckles.

The cream of the craic will be gathering together for this 11th year celebration from Monday 10th to Sunday 16th in various venues and guises, with silly themed nights aplenty.

Here’s the official spiel from Burkey…

Bray Comedy Festival celebrates its 11th birthday this February 9th to 15th and we are delighted to welcome some absolutely amazing names to this year’s line up.

At The Harbour Bar, we’ve got such headliners as John Colleary, Sophia Wren, Phil Kay, Martin Angolo, Aoife Dunne and Enya Martin, whilst at The Mermaid, it’s David O’Doherty, Emma Dornan, Shane Daniel Byrne and Shane Todd, and closer to home, at The Whale in Greystones, it’s Tony Cantwell and Willa White.

With more top tier acts still to be announced, Bray Comedy Festival 2026 promises to be one of our very best yet!

We have partnered up once again with our friends at the Mermaid Arts Centre Bray and Whale Theatre Greystones to host even more shows as part of Bray Comedy Fest.
