Colum’s debut Edinburgh Fringe Festival show (2016), received critical acclaim including a 4 star review from The Scotsman and him being quoted as “A new Jim Jefferies in the making”. Colm has started to gain significant recognition in the New York comedy industry and can now be seen performing at prestigious clubs all across America. Colum’s last show in Dublin was in Whelans in 2016 and it sold out, do not miss this show this time.
After 21 years “growing up” in Longford, Sean Finnerty moved stateside where he started stand up comedy after a series of mature decisions that he failed to make. A finalist on Stand Up NBC, Sean was also selected for Comedy Centrals “Up Next” and can be seen hosting Season 9 of Fireball Run on Amazon Prime.
