Kildare comedian launches solo show

Warren Martin, comedian

“Please welcome your next favourite comedian” is how Kildare man Warren Martin, was introduced to an audience at a prominent comedy club.

The Maynooth man is now set to perform his first solo show at Smock Alley Theatre in Temple Bar on Saturday and Sunday, 22-23 February at 6.45pm.

US Debut

No stranger to the stages of theatres, Warren Martin has also headlined and appeared in comedy clubs across Ireland and Britain.

His solo show, Proud Father, Exhausted Dad, debuts at the annual Scene and Heard Festival of New Work, which showcases an eclectic mix of acts from all aspects of the artistic spectrum.

The architect of his own troubles, Warren strives to be a perfect father but barely manages to be adequate, a fact obvious to everyone but himself.

Story after story of incompetence and struggle will make you wonder how he has even gotten this far.

Comedy Club

Martin co-founded and runs Kildare’s longest running Comedy Club, Mór Laughs at Maynooth’s O’Neills Bar, where headliners have included Abie Philbin Bowman, Kevin Gildea and Aideen McQueen.

Warren regularly appears in top Dublin comedy Clubs such as the Craic Den, Comedy Crunch, Stitches and Hysteria.

He has also appeared at festivals such as Sligo Comedy Festival and the legendary Edinburgh International Comedy Festival.

Tickets €13 from smockalley.com.
