Previous comedians to give The Laughter Lounge crowd a giggle include Dara O’Brian, Jimmy Carr and Michael MacIntyre. The club also offers gift vouchers for comedy fans eager to share the gift of laughter with loved ones."

"Laughter Lounge has got to be Dublin’s finest comedy establishment. It provides endless line-ups of comedy, and if you’re looking for a “break the ice” first date spot, a “not-boring” work night out venue, or if you’re just in the need of a good giggle, this is the place for you. The accredited venue has welcomed some of Ireland’s top names to the stage, as well as international comedians and those fresh on the scene, too."

"This comedy club is something every local and tourist must try when in Dublin. With its late-night showcase (which is bound to have your belly-aching with laughter), this night makes for a great alternative to your standard night out on the razz or in the pub. With all-seated performances, guests can book tickets online and ensure utmost comfort with a stage-viewing pew to enjoy the show from."

"The entire upstairs floor of Chaplin’s Bar on Hawkins Street in Dublin’s city centre is given over to comedy every Friday and Saturday night. Find out more about current and upcoming acts on the official club website or Facebook page. The club’s great location also means it’s within easy rich of most accommodation in Dublin City, including The Davenport Hotel."

"Cherry Comedy at Whelan’s is one of the finest and funniest nights of laughter on in this fair city. Taking place in Ireland’s leading music venue, Whelans, every Monday from 8pm, this often sell-out show is a sure thing. Featuring the best of Irish comedic talent, as well as a strong line-up of up-and-comers, this is your ultimate night out."

"Among the newest comedy clubs in the city is Pop The Cherry, offering great comedy nights every Monday evening. These nights bring together a mixture of established names from the world of comedy and newer voices just getting started in stand-up."

"This Arts Centre in Dundrum has a range of events and programmes, but in particular they have a great programme for children. In July they also run performance summer camps."

"Get ready for a night of belly-aching fun at Laughter Lines at The Duke. This non-stop, fun-filled comedy night is sure to be one to remember as this fivesome (consisting of Josephine Mc Caffrey, Gráinne Boyle, Aislinn Ní Uallacháin, Declan Mc Fadden and Noel Aungier) take to the stage offering sketches, stand-up, scenes and songs all likely to have you in stitches. Although this is their weekly home (at The Duke), the collective also performs sporadically in venues across Dublin and Ireland, and are quickly climbing their way to becoming one of Dublin’s most dynamic acts."

"That’s our motto these days, and luckily this comedy night runs three days a week offering comprehensive comedic coverage in Dublin city. Taking place every Monday, Tuesday and Sunday downstairs in The Stag’s Head, this stand-up comedy smash hit is often at capacity. It’s a by donation event, and sometimes international funny men and women pop in for a visit and take to the stage."

"They are a big UK chain with outlets in Dundrum and just beside Brown Thomas in town. Although we'd always champion the independent in Dublin, you have to say that their sushi is well worth making the list. Pick what you want from conveyor belts but do watch what you eat as you can easily tally up a huge bill in here."

"Or locally known as The Basin, it is a historic heritage park that provides a haven for all visitors. Located at the heart of Dublin’s north inner city, you can enjoy your leisure walk to the Public Library on The North Circular Road through the green and floral areas of the park. Fountains, floral schemes and features, and diverse woodland animals are to be enjoyed by visitors."

"Set within rugged woodland and untamed fields in a well-to-do part of south of Dublin, Killiney Hill Park is wilder than other parks in Dublin. For seasoned walkers, the incline provides a fine challenge. But if climbing to the top is easily accomplished, take in even better views of the Irish Sea, Dublin and Wicklow in the distance by scaling the stony steps of the Pyramid of Dublin."

"A little park with a wonderful view of Dalkey and Killiney villages. It’s a steep walk up the hill, but it’s well worth it. Once you’re up, it’s one of Dublin’s most tranquil spots to relax in."

"Nestled away behind Dublin Castle and secluded amongst the city buildings lay these magnificently designed gardens. They are designed with Celtic Symbolism having snake paving work slitter around the circular gardens. In Viking and medieval times this area was under water and called Dubh Linn (Black Pool) because it was where the river Liffey and Poddle met, the Poddle now runs underground and the Liffey banks were receded to where it is presently."

"Located behind the famous Dublin Castle is the sprawling and serene view of the Dubh Linn Gardens. You can take a short stroll, chill, lay down on the grass, and enjoy the tranquility that this park offers. Or maybe, if it piques your interest, you can admire the mega-sized Celtic knot pattern found within the park, or ask what it means to the locals enjoying their stay in Dublin."

"experience, incorporating a visitor centre, interactive exhibition areas and walled botanical garden. The Avoca Cafe is super kid friendly with lots of space, great food and high chairs. The outdoor terrace is a beautiful vantage point to enjoy the gardens…just watch out for the Peacocks which like to show off to our visitors from time to time!"
