Saturday brings another hilarious lineup, headlined by Shane Todd, host of the Tea With Me podcast and has previously opened for Bill Burr and Kevin Hart.
Also performing on Saturday night are Martin Angolo, Fiona Frawley, and Tom O’Mahony, known for his work on RTÉ's Bridget & Eamon and various other comedy podcasts.
Hosting duties fall to Julie Jay, a seasoned comic who has supported Tommy Tiernan and Ardal O’Hanlon.
A university spokesperson spoke on the event saying, “With no other venue hosting this lineup and all performers appearing exclusively on the UCH stage, Comedy Weekend is a new must attend event in Ireland’s comedy calendar for 2025.”
Tickets for the event can be found on uch.ie.
