Paddy Courtney and Robbie Bonham headline the Laughter Lounge tonight in the Róisín Dubh at 9pm.

Paddy's stand up comedy has brought him to multiple Edinburgh and Kilkenny Cat Laughs Festivals and he was a fan's favourite at last summer's Bud Lite Comedy Revue and at The Electric Picnic Comedy Tent. He is Ireland's most sought after MC and 'warm up act' for both TV and live gigs.

Paddy has supported Keith Barry on all his Vicar Street shows to date and he blew the audience away with his performances on Podge and Rodge's 'Desperate for Housewives' show over 30 nights in Vicar Street and the Marquee in Cork, earlier this year.

Robbie Bonham has been doing stand up for a couple of years now, only getting into it at the ripe old age of 33. ?He now plays regularly in the Laughter Lounge, the Capital Comedy Club, and various other Dublin gigs. Last year he was voted the Capital Comedy Club's best support act.

He was also in the final of the Bulmers Comedy festival for the second year running and has just attained the title of 98 FM's 'Dublin's Best Comedian'. He recently played to a sellout audience in the Empire Comedy Club in Belfast, and in Vicar Street, Dublin.

Tickets, €12.50, are available from the Róisín Dubh on Dominick Street.
