Saturday night is comedy night in Revolution Bar Comedy Club
John Lynn
A few years ago John Lynn visited the Comedy Cellar in Dublin and thought ‘I could do that’. This isn’t unusual. A lot of people think that. Most of them can’t. John could. That’s why he’s fast becoming one of the most sought after acts in the country.
John’s easy going laid back delivery makes him an instant hit with audiences. Within months of starting stand up John appeared on TV screens in RTE’s Liffey Laughs, a remarkable feat for a newcomer.
In the past couple of years he’s appeared on the BBC’s One Night Stand and was a highlight alongside Tommy Tiernan & Jon Kenny on TV3’s The Third Policeman’s Ball, celebrating the work of Flann O’Brien.
John has spent the last two years constantly performing. He completed his first full Edinburgh festival run in 2006. He is the first choice as an opening act for Naked Camera’s PJ Gallagher, and has since performed in almost every comedy venue around Ireland.
Catch John now as he races up the comedy ladder with the speed of some kind of demented Delamere.

MC Mark Swan
He left Ireland in the 80’s and went to London, after he finished building London he set his sights on Germany. And it was there that his mates brought it to his attention that he was a funny guy. That’s funny ha ha and not funny peculiar.
‘I don’t know why I found it hard to believe that I was funny, I just did’ he says.
After working in a few German bars He decided to open one of his own and called it The Fat Lady Sings, with the aid of Open mike nights he laughed all the way to the bank.
