GOING OUT

Sligo’s Monthly Comedy night Craic’s out of the Box and into McGarrigles
Sligo’s well-established monthly comedy night; Craic in the Box, is on the move once again. Started up by The Model Arts and Niland Gallery in 2004 and hosted by John Colleary ever since, Craic in the Box has played host to some of the leading lights of Irish and international comedy in the past; including Des Bishop, Jason Byrne, Neil Delamere, Adam Hills, Maeve Higgins, PJ Gallagher, Danny Bhoy, Jeff Greene and Dom Irera to name but a few.

The Model Niland is temporarily closed this year to facilitate an exciting redevelopment that will deliver a brilliant new theatre space for the comedy club when it re-opens late next year. In the meantime though the club has been on the move trying on new homes for size, and this month they’ll be hosting a special Christmas show upstairs in McGarrigles on Saturday December 13th.
In keeping with these recessionary times the gig will be informal and low key with tickets at just €10 on the door, but the same high calibre laughs as always will be delivered by John Colleary, and his guests Bob Hennigan and Colum McDonnell.

  No stranger to Sligo audiences; what Colum McDonnell lacks in stature, he gains in laughter. The Fundalk-ian is a firm favourite on the comedy circuit touring with the likes of Ardal O’Hanlon, Joe Rooney, Jason Byrne and Colin Murphy. Widely known for his appearances with the dynamic duo Podge and Rodge both in their television and live shows in Vicar Street and beyond, "A fireball of on the money humour...this guy is a must see" - Talkfringe.com

Colum will be joined by up and comer Bob Hennigan in his first Sligo gig, and John Colleary will be on hand to put manners on them both- or not, aas the case may be! Tickets are €10 and available on the Door of McGarrigles, upstairs, on Sat 13th December from 8.30pm. www.myspace.com/craicinthebox
