Speaking about the festival’s return, Trevor Connolly of Love Drogheda BID said: “We are delighted to support the Drogheda Comedy Festival once again. Events like this bring vibrancy to the town and create a real buzz for businesses and visitors alike. Last year’s festival was a huge success, and we can’t wait to see it grow even bigger and better in 2025. There is a real sense of partnership and community with this event and anyone who visited last year will know how good it is to move from venue to venue and enjoy the mix of talent.” 

Mark Davies of Louth County Council echoed this enthusiasm: “Bringing world-class comedy to Drogheda is a fantastic way to showcase the town’s cultural vibrancy. We’re proud to support this event and encourage everyone to come along, enjoy the incredible lineup, and experience all that Drogheda has to offer.”
