Local comedy club teams up with G-Spot Stage

Having been a side-splitting, rip-roaring, rib-tickling success over the last two years, we are very pleased to announce the return of the G-Spot comedy stage at this year’s Glasgowbury Music Festival.

Upping the comedic ante that little bit more, we are teaming up with the guys behind Daly’s Comedy Club in Omagh, which finished a very respectable runner up in the Dave’s One Night Stand UK Comedy Club of the Year 2013 Award. Seeing as they’ve worked with some of the biggest acts in Irish and UK comedy over the past few years we couldn’t be more delighted to welcome them onboard this year’s festival.

A regular panelist on BBC comedy gameshow Monumental and SKETCHY, we are equally pleased to announce that acclaimed comedian and actor Micky Bartlett will headline the G-Spot stage at this year’s festival. Having won BBC NI’s stand up talent show Find Me The Funny, the skilled comic actor is also known for appearing on the I Am Fighter videos on Youtube, created by Colin Geddis.

A hit at the world-famous Edinburgh Fringe festival, Belfast-born clown and comedian Paul Currie will also bring his uniquely nonsensical approach to this year’s festival. Having been called “the Monty Python version of stand up comedy” by Fringe Guru, he is an unmissable proposition – a totally one-one artist set to appear on BBC3’s comedy variety show Live At The Electric.

Several other well-known faces and fastest rising stars from the local comedy scene will play this year’s G-Spot tent, including fast-rising Dublin comedian Marcus Olaoire,
stand-up/West Belfast taxi driver Paddy McDonnell and master of the dead-pan one-liner, Sean Hegarty.

The full line-up for the G-Spot comedy stage is as follows:

Micky Barlett
Paul Currie
Marcus Olaoire
Paddy McDonnell
Sean Hegarty
Terry Keyes
Phil McEwan
Terry McHugh
Digger Browne
