Just think he like any sports team with Cork in the name, he spent several years at college there and I think Cork is where his ancestors were from.Quote:

No ... he has been to alot of home games and been to a few away ones, was in Derry for the three one hammering and loved the singing at the end !! :pQuote:

Seen a guy called David O'Doherty before Christmas and thought he was brilliant, does a few songs in a Bill Bailey kind of way. :D
There's a pic of him at a Cork Vs. Bohs game that he was at in Turners Cross on his website. He has a bit wrote about Cork City on his website too.Quote:

A couple of guys I've noticed recently would be Rhys Darby and Marcus Brigstocke. Both of them are on Comedy Central on Paramount.
Tommy Tiernan
Billy Connolly
Jim Carrey
Robin Williams
Brian Kerr :D
Seriously though ( in a comic way ), there would be too many to mention, but someone mentioned Jasper Carrott earlier and I can remember some very funny showings from him, then there was also Kenny Everett who was also very funny.
There's an English guy called Lee Mack who I've seen a few times. Very funny man.
Has anyone been to the Cat Laughs festival in Kilkenny ??
I'll probably head up this year, try and take in a game aswell. Make a good wekend end out of it.
Anyone know of John Colleary? He's from Sligo and is regular MC at the comedy nights in the Sligo art gallery. I think he's fairly well known around the Dublin comedy club scene too. He did the Kilkenny festival thing last year and appeared on an episode of Naked Camera on RTE. If ye know him, what do ye think of him?
Dane Cook !!
You can hear his set here (second last one) :p
Yeah he's good,he presents They think its all over now,he used to be in a show with Tim Vine,he is also very good,you can see some of his best lines hereQuote:

I went to see Vine in Sligo a few months back. He is good but I find that cos all his jokes are basically one liners, it goes too quick. I like an aul long joke every now and again:o :D.Quote:

Jimmy Carr
Ricky Gervais
Richard Prior
Ben Elton's stand up used to be good
Fair play for doing that sligoman !! :cool:Quote:

Anyone know much about a guy called David O'Doherty? Probably gonna see him next month so will he be worth it. Any good?
Went to see PJ Gallagher in Sligo last night, obviously I knew he was good before hand with Naked Camera and that but the man really is pure funny. Anyone else here see his stand up act? What ye think?
i know this is plural, but apres match. a howl!
Richard Prior.
Going to see Reginald D Hunter in Kilkenny this year, as he was a brilliant surprise last time out, and he's on with Dara O'Briain who is just excellent live anyway.
My favourite stand-up comic won't be at Cat Laughs this year though, Sean Lock. Pure genius!
Dylan Moran anyone??
Monster cracked me up
The new one isn't as good though........

Bernard Manning and Roy Chubby Brown?? Racists the pair of them
Poor old tommy teirnan has gone pretty poor recenctly allright . Jimmy carr is ok in short bursts but an hour of just jokes gets boring very quickly .
both Jason and ed Byrne are just idiots far from funny
ricky gervais is good live , Dylan moran is class , but paul Merton is probibly the funniest bloke around at the moment has been for a long time .
Saw him upstairs in the International about five years ago and he was doing pretty much the same stuff he was doing on telly recently.Quote:

Bill Hicks, then Dylan Moran, then Jerry Seinfeld
Anyone catch The Modest Adventures of David O'Doherty on RTE last night? Dublin to Galway (well two-thirds of the way...) on a bike - funny stuff :DQuote:

My favourite Irish comedian is Tommy Tiernan and overall Bill Bailey would be my choice. Others mentions were Dylan Moran, Rich Hall, Jason Byrne and Jimmy Cricket.
Just wondering what the foot.ie communities opinions were.
I've a few but at the moment have to say I like Andrew Maxwell's brand of dry Dublin humour
