    Usually there is a couple of lesser known comedians on first to warm up the crowd at these comedy shows. Who are usually very good too.

    Are the tickets sold out for Des Bishop? Can I buy at the door?

    Says on the ticket 8pm, Lenny from RedFM morning show, KC & Lenny has been challenged by Des Bishop to do a warm up act. He's actually going for it and asked ppl to donate whatever they want towards charity Barnardos online on Redfm website. Think they are trying to raise €5000 Good cause! Don't know how good he will be tho, seeing as he isn't technically a stand up. Could seriously crash and burn, but fair play to him. Probably another warm up act aswell so could be close to 9 before he's on.

    Didn't hear anything about it being sold out. Don't think you can buy at d gates, usually have to show tickets at first entrance and havn't seen a box office down there.

    Was at Crosby, Stills and Nash on Monday. We arrived at about 8.15 or so and they had already started.

    an hour and a half seems to be the standard time for a headline act these days, unless you are at one of the major venues like Slane or I've found a lot of the more well known artists who have been around for ages tend to play for longer. Bon Jovi at Croke park a few years ago went on for 2h45m.

    I'd imagine Bruce Springsteen would do at least two hours tonight..maybe some will confirm this tomorrow.
