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.

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."

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."

"On the Southside choose from Sandymount beach, Sandycove and Seapoint, popular with local sea swimmers. Seapoint is home to a Martello tower that's now the headquarters of the Genealogical Society of Ireland. On the Northside you have Dollymount beach, a 5-km long stretch set to the backdrop of Dublin's Poolbeg Chimneys and Howth Head, and is surrounded by the North Bull Island Nature Reserve."

"A little trip away from Dublin City Centre, it’s the perfect romantic location for beach strolls or some sunset portraits. It has the tall grass, sea air and the iconic Poolbeg Towers as the quintessentially-Dublin backdrop!. A great spot for an engagement session, an elopement or a lovely portrait spot on a wedding day if you’re driving in from the south side."

"Located in temple bar, right in the centre of Dublin, The Ark is a space dedicated to teaching art to children. A good address especially on a wet day, their programme involves workshops for kids to familiarise and experience theater, literature, art and creative endeavours of all types. A wonderful creative space just for kids with amazing facilitators."

Running several events and workshops throughout the year, The Ark is the perfect place to spark or nurture a love of the arts. Address: 11A Eustace St, Temple Bar, Dublin, D02 A590, Ireland"

"Collaborating with Irish and International Artists the team at The Ark develop inspirational and playful programmes for children aged 3-14 years including theatre, dance, poetry, arts and crafts.

"The Olivier Cornet Gallery on Denmark Street represents some incredible contemporary Irish and international artists, who's works include painting, sculpture, ceramics, fine art prints, photography and installations. They're always running incredible exhibitions too, so have a look at their site to see which artists they're showcasing at the moment."

"Stepping into Foam Cafe is like stepping into another world, one full of flower garlands, mirrors and clashing prints over two floors. It's hidden away on Strand Street Great, just a stone's throw from the new Italian Quarter just off the quays. Setting itself apart from the usual coffee shop fare Foam Café has a broad range of things on offer but their flagship dish is the humble omelette."

"This is a local for me and place you may not encounter if you are visiting Dublin for abroad but we love it. Relaxed and laid back, they have a lovely weekend brunch catering for kids too. My two are obsessed with the blueberry pancakes and the ‘not so hot’ chocolate just for them but you have also savoury options available with brunch favourites such as scrambled eggs."

"This cozy family-run place pulsates the spirit of an Argentinian-Irish amalgamation, offering a refreshing all-daybreakfast experience that takes their guests on an unprecedented culinary adventure. While the name means ‘soul’ in Spanish, it also stands for the initials of the four daughters in the family which runs this thriving café. The cafe resonates with health and happiness."

"A family-run Argentinian cafe on the South Circular Road, Alma has become well known for their signature dulce de leche pancakes. This dish is a flavour sensation - rich dulce de leche sauce, brandy and orange mascarpone and blood orange slices."

"A brunch spot with a sweet twist – Alma means soul in Spanish but is also the initials for the daughters in the family. Alma does a selection of Argentinian food using Irish produce. This makes it so much more than just the typical brunch spot."

"Dublin has suffered some unfortunate losses in the club department but The Twisted Pepper has remained at the top its game. Consistently booking the some of the best, most hyped acts on the electronic music scene as well as supporting Dublin's music scene and putting on events to suit almost everyone's musical persuasions. The venue itself is over 3 floors and often fills each of its stages with different acts every Friday and Saturday."

"Wigwam's small yet perfectly formed terrace space is ideal for small groups in Dublin. Stop by the ever-buzzing party bar for signature refreshments, bites to eat and a plethora of entertainment, including live music, karaoke and ping pong."
