“A guy who sees the funny side of everything. Infectious, hilarious & highly recommended”
Kevin Bridges

Ireland’s adopted Aussie whirlwind is back with a brand-new hour of rapid-fire stand-up. Fresh off hosting Dublin’s hottest comedy club, The Craic Den, and winning the People’s Choice Award at the Edinburgh Fringe, Damo brings his signature mix of off-the-cuff madness and laser-sharp storytelling.

This kind of chaotic playfulness has made him a favourite on Virgin Media’s Craic Den Comedy Club TV Show, Republic of Telly, The Savage Eye, and I Dare Ya!

Bring your mates, bring your energy, and LET’S GO!…

Damo’s joined by support act Rob Nother, winner of the TedFest Toilet Duck Award 2025 and the Beat The Frog World Series 2025 Panel Prize. A regular at The International, The Craic Den, and The Comedy Crunch, Rob’s mix of razor-sharp observations and warm, engaging delivery has seen him support Emma Doran and Adam Ray at Vicar Street and shine at major festivals.

Together, they deliver a powerhouse night of top-tier stand-up not to be missed.
