TEDFEST, THE annual celebration of all things Fr Ted, takes place each year on the Aran Islands, but this year some of the fun will also be happening in Galway city.

Amid all the doom and gloom of late, an evening of hilarious comedy with the one and only Jon Kenny is just what the doctor ordered! The Limerick comedian will perform at Áras Inis Gluaire, Belmullet, on Friday December 5 at 8.30pm. Touring Ireland with his fantastic new show, Kenny’s Back to Front is a hilarious critique of contemporary Ireland, hugely inspired by small-town Ireland and its rich crop of characters. In this exhilarating performance, Kenny presents us with his side-splitting observations and characters. With an astute eye for the ridiculous in modern life, Kenny takes no prisoners and delights in emphasising the hilarity in everyday life.

This year’s Tedfest will take place on Inis Mór twice following an unprecedented demand for tickets to the weekend event.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the opening of the first new town in Ireland since Shannon and Craigavon. Yes, its time to throw open the gates of Baile an Táicsigh (Toxic Town), the town where we promise to bring you the best of the worst, where you are guaranteed to get the worst service, where the roads will be the worst, the pint will be terrible, where the spittoons will never be emptied and where in order to make the rest of the country look great, we are going to feck everything bad. In demographic terms, it will be like the child in the back room of the olden days. The motto for this town will be ‘Hors de la vue, hors de l'esprit‘ (out of sight, out of mind) and by doing this, everywhere else in the country can feel good about itself.

On Friday September 18 Ardal O'Hanlon, the award winning comedian and actor - and star of Father Ted and My Hero, will return to the stand-up stage in Castlebar.
