What is your idea of perfect happiness?

GALWAY WILL be part of an international comedy festival taking place this Saturday, online, as the world unites across 24 hours to enjoy as feast of laughter in spite of the lockdown.

IT HAS been one hell of a great year for comedy in Galway, with the team at Róisín Dubh Comedy delivering the weekly Tuesday Comedy KARLnival, featuring established and emerging joke-slingers, hosted by Karl Spain.

THE BIGGEST Vodafone Comedy Carnival Galway to date just might have been the most memorable, with routines, views, and actions that delighted audiences over the last weekend, and the memory of which will keep up giggling for some time yet.

Early on Easter Monday morning, April 24 1916, the Galway Volunteers sprang into action. It was a chaotic beginning to the rebellion which hoped to see a nation-wide rising of fully armed and committed men and women seizing control of the country. We know, however, the capture of the ship Aud, with its weapons, explosives and ammunition, off the Kerry coast on Good Friday, prompted the Dublin leadership to cancel the Rising. The order was ignored by Padraic Pearse and others, who had the benefit of arms imported into Howth two years previously. They took over key positions throughout Dublin city, which they held for six days.
