Dublin stand up Kevin Gildea started off in a sketch troupe with a certain Ardal O’ Hanlon! A regular on the international circuit for many a year he proudly boasts to have appeared everywhere ‘from Singapore to Sligo’ as well as all the major comedy festivals. A regular on Ireland’s RTE his many telly appearances span everything from interviewing everyone from Eddie Izzard to Kermit The Frog. He also popped up in Father Ted as Father Cave. Stand up comedy remains Kevin’s first love though and we can’t wait to see him unleashed on the unsuspecting folk of Chorlton.

Once famously described as “Spewing out one-liners like he had just scoffed a dodgy prawn” by the Daily Record, Dundee’s Paul Pirie‘s brand of high energy lunacy puts him very firmly in the Robin Williams school of comedic performance. Everyday tales of domestic mishap are vividly brought to life by Pirie’s manic antics. Be prepared for the unexpected and some very silly noises too.
