29 May 2006 - Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey Sponsors Kilkenny Fringe Laughs Festival

Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey is pleased to present the 2006 Kilkenny Fringe Laughs Festival. The Fringe Laughs will take place June 2nd through June 4th, to coincide with the hugely popular Kilkenny Cat Laughs Festival. The Cat Laughs has blossomed into one of the world’s most successful comedy festivals, expanding every year and selling out each and every show on its 2005 bill. Due to this phenomenal demand, the Fringe Laughs was established to provide more shows and more laughs with more of the world’s best comedians!

The Fringe Laughs will feature comedians Frank Santorelli, best known as Georgie the Bartender on HBO’s hit series The Sopranos; Tony V, whose television credits include appearances on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Seinfeld and Rescue Me; Brian Joyce, one of the brightest up-and-coming talents on the Irish comedy circuit today; and Jim McCue, an international crowd favorite who has performed in such far away places as Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Caribbean.

“We’re very pleased to be part of this great weekend,” says Alan Sheehan of Cooley Distillery. “As last year’s festival proved, there is demand for more and more shows each and every year in Kilkenny. We’re proud to offer what we think is a great show with some of the most talented comedians in the business. It will be a great addition to what is already a fantastic festival.”

Fringe Laughs shows will take place Friday, June 2nd; Saturday, June 3rd; and Sunday, June 4th at Morrissey’s Bar, 20 Rose Inn Street, Kilkenny. All show times are 9PM, and admission is €15.
