Kingdom Comedy Club Bring The Laughs To Killarney

Published

on

The Kingdom Comedy Club opened its doors to the public on Saturday June 2nd, upstairs in The Eviston House Hotel, smack bang in the heart of Killarney.

The brainchild of local businessman Tony Dunne (owner of network marketing agency Kingdom Media) & Cork comedian and promoter Cornelius 'Family Guy' O' Sullivan, the club is initially running for the 5 Saturdays in June but hopes to extend its stay for long after 

So, how did a blow-in Kerryman (Tony) and a Corkman (Cornelius) get together in the first place and dream up this hair brained scheme? Good question! The answer is simple their collective love for stand up comedy. They both met a few years back at a show Cornelius was performing in and ended up bonding over a few pints and have been pals ever since. These guys simply love comedy and after a chat one day they decided that it was time to set the wheels in motion and open up a comedy club!!! Tony being a well respected business man in the town located a venue and looked after all the administration, branding, nitty gritty & bits and pieces that are essential to make the comedy nights happen, and Cornelius with 10 years experience on the Irish circuit cultivates the gigs, hand picking the very best of national and international talent, while hosting the shows too.

It's a marriage made in heaven; a modern day bromance (both their wives are just happy to be rid of them and out of the house every Saturday night!). The shows start at 9pm and the doors open at 8:30pm and initially for the first run of shows it is FREE entry. The dream is to have a regular comedy club in Kerry, and Killarney is the ideal spot as it is a vibrant and energetic town, and hopefully the local community will get behind these two dreamers and support another local business trying to make its way in the world. More information can be found on their website www.kingdomcomedyclub.com or you can follow their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/kingdomcomedyclub/ and also on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and TripAdvisor.

So, come on down, grab a drink, take a seat and have a good old laugh for yourself! 

Life is short.

“The Ageless road show is a combination of organisations to help older people in the community. The groups that have committed to attend are the on alternative months. There will a guest speaker each month,”

A Tipperary woman is going to attempt to climb Carrauntoohil three times in one day to raise money for a sick child.

Nikita Conlon from Roscrea is a personal trainer and care assistant who has been working in health care for 18 years.

While working at the Milford Care Centre she met the family of Noah Quish. The six-year-old from Monaleen, Limerick was born with serious health issues ranging from a heart defect, severe laryngomalacia, severe sleep apnoea, scoliosis and chromosome deletion.

‘I worked in the Milford Care Centre for five years where I met Una Quish, Noah’s mam, so I felt the need to do something to help his family. I decided to set up this fundraiser.
“I plan to set off at midnight on Friday October 6, and hope to finish at 5 pm on Saturday.

“I have previously Climbed Kilimanjaro in February 2023 and raised over €6000 for the Dean Maxwell Nursing Home in Roscrea,” she said.

“My whole life I have felt the need to help others and now it’s time to help Noah and I need the support to help him.

“This challenge is not going to be easy but I am going to give it my all.

“I have experienced hikers coming along on the day.’

Her plan is to leave Cronin’s Yard at midnight and to return to the starting point at 4.30 am. She will restart at 5 am from the bottom of the Devil’s Ladder. By 10 am on Saturday she hopes to have started her third and final lap.
