 Doug Stanhope confirmed for September Laughter Lounge
Doug is probably best known in Ireland for his 2006 appearance at the Kilkenny Cat Laughs festival where he told his lairy, late-night crowd, that Irish men sleep with children, because - as the headline to the following day's Irish Daily Star put it (misreportedly) - "Irish women are too ugly to rape! Comic booed after shocking festival jibe." The Star getting it all wrong, imagine.
Stanhope has been described as a free-thinking nihilist, a vulgar miseriblist, a self-indulgent, drunken washout and a deviant, misanthropic Charles Kuralt. His material ranges from true-life graphic perversion to volatile social criticism. He's also a bit of a boozehound.
One of the greatest stand-ups alive, Stanhope, just announced one Edinburgh gig this year. It's almost worth stumping up the £7,349 to be his one-man audience for a one-off performance - a bloody-minded protest against the commercialisation of comedy. Of course you could just pay €20 to see him in Roisin Dubh on Wednesday 3rd September.

 Sorry about the delay.....
We'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to everyone who attended the Toots show last night for the very late starting time.
While the circumstances of Toots late arrival were beyond our control, we accept that the bands late arrival on stage led to some people being unable to stay and enjoy the gig and for this we are truly sorry.
Occassionally when bands travel long distances to play gigs, mess-ups like last nights sometimes happen.
Once again for those of you who couldn't stay, our most sincere apologies and to those who stayed on we hope it was worth the rather long wait.
