Welcome to the new Craichouse web site. It has been a bit of a struggle but finally we have got it up and running. It is not much to look at now but we will be adding to the site over the next few days so call back.
First a little bit about our 4th trip to the Kilkenny cat laughs.

An established comedy club with an ever-evolving lineup, The Craichouse Comedy club has been going strong for 4 years in the heart of Cork City.
Since opening its doors in 2004 The Craichouse Comedy Club has become Cork’s premier comedy venue for new and up-and-coming comedians.
We've helped launch the careers of local comedy icons such as

  • Meave Higgins (Naked Camera, Network 2)
  • Eleanor Tiernan (The Cafe, Network 2)
  • and Donnchadh O’Conaill (Chortle UK Student comedian of the year 2006).

Following successful runs in 2005, ‘06 & ’07 at Kilkenny Cat Laughs fringe Festival, The Craichouse is back this year even bigger and better than ever.
This Year The Craichouse comedy club is taking the unprecedented step of having 2 venues. We took this step because of the sheer volume of comedians who wanted to be a part of The Craichouse experience during the Kilkenny Cat Laughs
fringe festival.

The first of our venues is The Rafter Dempsys, 4 Friary St.Rafter Dempsey's is just a short stroll from all the historic
sights of the city. It is a bright comfortable award-winning bar with a homely log fire decorated in traditional old
world style.

Our Second venue is Paris Texas, 92 High Street, a noted dining Pub of the Year 1999-2002, Paris Texas is a welcome mixture of old fashioned pub style and contemporary customer service values. Paris Texas also offers a full cocktail menu and a fine selection of premium beers.

We look forward to seeing you at both of our venues!

Thinking comedy? Think Craichouse!
