Thursday April 30th will go down officially as the night where American comedians stromed the show! Despite reduced numbers, the Comedy Basement kept standards at a high level for underground comedy clubs by bringing the fantastic Eric Shantz to a headline position in the Basement.

A great performer, Shantz had the audience with him for his entire set and had them hanging on his every word. A true great up and coming performer in Ireland, not to mention a good sound guy too!

But, all the praise for a great evening’s comedy doesn’t go to Eric, as despite some technical difficulties, Jason O’Neill kept the show going as the guest emcee, while Adam Laughlin, TNT, Shane Todd and George Quinn kept the night flowing.

That’s it for now folks, the next gig will be on the 28th May and will feature guest emcee Paddy McGaughey as well as performances from Gary Croft, Simon McCullagh and a headline slot for the great Neil Dougan.

See you there!
