DAVID MC SAVAGE
Having honed his craft on the mean streets of Europe, David returned to Dublin and launched himself on the Irish public, selling out Vicar Street four times. This controversial street comedian and tabloid headline maker has developed his own brand of rapier sharp comedy, making him a strong, unique presence on the comedy circuit.
‘McSavage is fearless. It’s incredible’ - Tommy Tiernan
SHAZIA MIRZA
An international sensation, Shazia has been breaking down barriers as a Muslim comic in her standup and TV appearances. Shazia has been profiled on 60 Minutes, on Oprah’s Oxygen Network and has her own column in the New Statesman Magazine. A sell out performer across Europe and Scandanavia, her TV and Radio credits are too numerous to mention. Shazia has also performed at The Royal Albert Hall in the Vagina monologues with a special invitation from Eve Ensler to write her own monologue, which she did and which she performed alongside Isabella Rossellini and Maureen Lipman.

He has appeared to sell out audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe, Kilkenny Cat Laughs, Melbourne Comedy Festival and the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival.
