New name, new venues and new acts for Carlow Comedy Festival to be revealed at official festival launch tonight, Monday, 12th October

Carlow Comedy Festival is back from Thursday, 3rd to Sunday, 6th December 2026, and this year the festival is getting a major makeover with a new name, new venues, new acts and an expanded countywide programme.

Full details of the 2026 festival will be revealed at the official launch on Monday, 12th October at 6.00pm in the Barracks, Carlow, and members of the public are warmly invited to come along and be among the first to hear this year’s line-up.

Building on the success of previous years, the 2026 festival has been redesigned as a truly countywide celebration of comedy, entertainment and live performance. This year’s programme will feature events across 16 venues, bringing audiences into pubs and venues in Carlow Town as well as Tullow and Bagenalstown over four days.

The laughter gets underway on Thursday, 3rd December, with a special opening event in the Tower that puts some brave new faces in the spotlight. Eight people will take to the stage and try their hand at stand-up comedy, with each getting just ten minutes to win over the audience.

From there, the festival moves into full swing with a packed weekend of comedy, entertainment and music. Friday night will see the first of the festival's headline acts take to the stage, followed by a programme of shows across the county throughout Saturday and Sunday, including performances in Tullow and Bagenalstown, before the festival draws to a close in Tully's on Sunday night.

1926 Tragedy strikes Yorkshire steeplejack Leonard Selby, as he falls to his death from the spire of St. Anne's Church, Athy Rd. He had been involved in the relocation of the Church, stone by stone, to a new site across The Barrow. It is now known as St. Clare's, Graiguecullen.
