New Venue Alert!! Come joins us at The Kildrought Lounge on Saturday 5th April. Featuring Eric Lalor, with support from Becky Cheatle, Dan Stephens, Ally Ryan and Breda Hegarty. Your MC for the evening will be The Comedy Lodge's own Stephen Robert-Walters. Award-winning Eric Lalor is one of the most sought after comedians in the country. Having started way back on Des Bishop’s Joy in the Hood, Eric has gone on to forge a successful career in comedy, appearing at all the major comedy festivals and headlining venues up and down the country. Some people will recognise him as the villain from Fair City, the gangster, Cathal Spillane. Indeed Eric has a number of acting credits including Amber, Brigid & Eamonn, The Commute and COVID based comedy, Socially Distant, plus a number of short films. He has won Irish comedian of the year twice as voted by the readers of entertainment.ie, and now his new podcast, You Must Be Jokin, which he co-hosts with fellow Ballymunner, Willa White, has won Best Podcast at the Digital Media Awards. Having recently stormed his new show, Lol’er By Nature at the Liberty Hall Theatre, Eric is at the top of his game and one of the most reliable comedy acts in the country. Becky Cheatle is a rising star of the Irish comedy scene, however her 50 years spent as a man received mixed reviews. She’s performed in Dublin Fringe, Edinburgh Fringe, Paddy Power Comedy Festival and was a semifinalist in the UK’s LGBTQ+ Comedian Of The Year contest. Dan Stephens won Ireland's Next Top Comic 2024 at the Legendary Ha'penny Inn Comedy Club. He then supported Joe Dowlin in Liberty Hall, as well as doing shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, then headlining several sold out shows in Florida in November later that year. He is steadily becoming a regular on the Irish Stand Up Comedy scene and has performed with David McSavage, and Father Ted legends Joe Rooney and Pat McDonnell. He is also the host of the podcast The Truth is In There Ally Ryan is a fresh faced (not botox I promise) comedian from Dublin. They say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit and Ally is the lowest of the low. With a biting wit and a penchant for filthy jokes, Ally has taken the stage at Paddy Power Comedy festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and reached the semi finals of the international Funny Women Competition in 2023. Breda Hegarty, having grown up in the middle of nowhere in West Cork, she remains slightly feral but has learned to communicate through the medium of comedy. She has performed in many of the top comedy clubs in Ireland and was the winner of DICFF Comedian of the Year 2024 and Bray New Act 2025. She has supported and performed alongside many well known acts such as Colin Murphy, Fred Cooke, Killian Sunderman, Emma Doran, John Colleary and many more. A trained actor, she has played a mad woman, sad woman, abandoned woman and dismayed woman, in hindsight she probably didn’t need the acting classes. In her stand up Breda shares her hysterical failings as a woman and as a human in general, which will no doubt leave you laughing and squeezing out a little pee, while also making you feel better about your own life! Stephen Robert-Walters is one of the longest names in Irish comedy. A voice actor by day, a comedian by night, Stephen will do anything in his power to avoid an honest day's work. Performing some of the best clubs throughout Ireland, the UK, such as The Comedy Store, Angel Comedy, Just the Tonic, and Backyard Comedy in the UK, and The Craic Den, Cherry Comedy, and Hawkswell Theatre in Ireland. Stephen recently performed at Top Secret Comedy Club, London as part of a new act showcase featuring 5 of the best up and coming comedians from the UK and Ireland. He has also been lucky enough to share the stage with some heavyweight names on the comedy circuit including Kevin McGahern, Emma Doran, John Colleary, and the legendary Ardal O'Hanlon.
