'Midlands Madness' comedy night returns to Athlone

Another 'Midlands Madness' night of comedy returns to Athlone next month.

After two successful shows last year, The Brazen Monkey is the venue once again for a night filled with laughter, love, and local banter with an all-new line-up on Friday, May 17.

The demand for comedy in Athlone is always high, and it only makes sense in a town that has a lot to boast about in the line of arts and tourism is home to more comedy shows on a more regular basis.

Seomra Spraoi comedy club presents the latest instalment of 'Midlands Madness' on May 17, hosted by Justin Cass. A Monaghan native who has flourished on the comedy scene over the past few years, Justin was most recently a finalist in the 'Show Me The Funny' competition in Galway.

Athlone native Alex George will be opening the first half of the show, while social media sensation Anthony O’Reilly Jr will be opening the second half.

Another three Limerick rising comics Sean Ryan, Ken Lindsay and Robbie O’Donnell will also be performing on the night.

A comic new to the scene Amy Cassidy will also be making an appearance in Athlone.

The night will be closed by Galina Orlova, a prominent Dublin comic who became a model and stand-up comedian at the age of 43! Organiser Cillian Mac Gabhann will also be making a guest appearance in The Brazen Monkey on May 17 at 8.30pm. Complimentary snacks will be provided.

As the motto for the night goes 'Roll on the Madness' so get your tickets now on Eventbrite for a night of laughs where anything can happen! Tickets are on sale from €10 plus booking fee.
