Last time I organised a company outing to the Laughter Lounge it was painfully bad. Only 1 of the three "comedians" was funny.

The compare was intolerable to listen too... it was truly painful to listen to him try to slag off members of the audience but only end up asking them boring questions... "Where do you come from", "What do you work at?" etc...
He was trying to emulate "Al Murray" and failing as bad as a mute on open mike night.

We had 6 platters of food ordered, and the lounge staff gave away one of them.

We were told there was a late bar / night club... there wasn't.

I won't be making the same mistake twice, even if it's 1/4 of the price.

Last time i went it was good fun, one of the comics was pretty bad and one was one of those 'im a woman so i obviously have to make jokes about my period' comedians though she had her funny moments, but the other two guys were hillarious and the 'host' or whatever you call it was pretty funny too. I hope it goes on for a very long time and i shall be back shortly its nice to see some comedy out of vicar street and within the auld student price range

That bloke Scott Capurro ain't very funny so I can see why tickets are going cheap. And the "I Dare Ya" doesn't really appeal either.

Went to this. Amateur hour would be an apt description, glad I didn't spend anymore than a fiver. The first two acts had their moments but lost the audience halfway through and fell flat on their faces.

The headliner, Scott Capurro, wasn't very funny either, as Bazmo said. Tried more to shock than amuse. Apparently, he got heckled and booed off the stage in the International Bar a couple of nights later!

I also organised a night out, it was at Christmas last year.
Brought clients.
Gig started so late (approx 90 minutes late), everybody was ****ed.
Somebody threw a pint glass over the first comedian, row broke out and they stopped after that.
Food was terrible.
Another row broke out, punches were thrown at the bouncers and then we were asked to go down to the night club (it was in Spirit at the time).
No thanks, never again.
Complained to the management, nobody ever came back to me.
They still send me e-mails about the the "new" venue and would I like to bring some colleagues to it.

It might have improved since they moved back to the Quays but never again.

Yeah, it's definitely not for polite company, clients or a group from work.

I had specifically asked the Laughter lounge beforehand whether the acts were suitable for a work night out, ie. not extremely racist/sexist, cos we've a fair auld mix of people where I work. All the HR department came out that night.

Now cut to the act... this orange haired freak with a guitar starts singing "You call it rape, I call it surprise...."

No... avoid this dive like the plague for work outings, it's skangerville.

Have being going there since it opened and never had an issue until now.

Bought some tickets for "I dare ya" a few weeks ago,the show time on the tickets was 20:30 so we turned up at 19:55 to be told that filming had begun and we would need to wait until the interval in 45 minutes to enter.

I had the same experience, there is certainly no jokes in this place, and its an area that should have just been condemned. Did they not learn their lesson when Murphys Live Lounge shut down due to lack of interest. The Irish comedy scene is good, but you wont get enough good talent to fill seats every night, and you certainly will not get value for money for €5

I hate when that happens:mad:

Went to "I Dare Ya!" last night. have to say was a pretty ok gig. Andrew Stanley was pretty funny as was the dude hosting it. Wasn't mad on Damian Clark.
The TV show will probably do ok. Its a six parter, basically the lads have collected a load of dares from the public and they show how they got on. They focus on one main dare each episode and throw in a couple of smaller ones to break it up.
I would have felt a bit ripped off if I had paid full price (€15) to get in. You kinda feel like your doing them a favour, being told to clap at the start/end/breaks etc. and watching them do retakes.
That said it was an enjoyable night out for five quid

Wait, hang on a sec! They're recording the show for RTE and yet they're still charging for tickets??? :eek:

Sometimes they don't have the nightclub on because numbers aren't big enough. Acts are the same every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. So no point going back two nighs in

Went last year twice - had two brilliant nights 3 out of the four comedians were good, we got a free drink when we went in and the free night club not bad for €20 a head

Some people on The Joe Duffy show were not happy about it as per http://www.rte.ie/radio1/player_av.html?0,null,200,http://dynamic.rte.ie/quickaxs/209-rte-liveline-Thursday.smil

Make up your own mind.

Ould thread + Possible Shill = Maximum Lockage!

I've banned jackiescumbags from bargains for dragging up old threads to promote the laughter lounge. Why don't you pay for advertising instead, maybe Joe Duffy will arrange a discount for you on the radio.
