Maeve Higgins Can’t Stop Doing Comedy
01 Dec 2011 -
08.00 pm
Tickets: €16 + booking fee
The adorable and hilarious comedian from Cobh is playing; for one night only. Last October, in a little room over the International Bar in Dublin, Maeve recorded her first stand-up album. It’s called Maeve Higgins Can’t Stop Doing Comedy and captures a great hour of fun and banter - it’s a snapshot of where she is at and is her first release since the much loved RTE series Fancy Vittles. The album is available to download on itunes from 14th November, and the Cork show marks the official launch of the CD.
There is no crooning, singing or humming on the album, just jokes and over-sharing, Higgins style!
Come help her celebrate the launch at this very special show. Expect new material, old favourites and flowery language.
See you there!
Maeve Higgins has performed in comedy festivals around the world, including Edinburgh, Melbourne, Adelaide and Kilkenny. She rapidly rose to an uncomfortable level of notoriety on Irish television in the past few years, on the most watched comedy show in the country, RTE's Naked Camera and subsequently starred, with her sister, in their alternative cooking show.
Please book early to avoid disappointment, as it was a sell out last year.

"Higgins is rarer than a blessing of unicorns…she is original and relatively calm, her observations are pithy, her wit delicate, her persona oddly alluring and deftly honest." The Irish Times, September 2009
“Throughout the whole hour the room is filled with laughter at Maeve’s risqué and highly intelligent act." The Irish Independent,
‘Charming and iconoclastic Irish stand-up’ The Age, Melbourne 2008
"Higgins is a great relief from the big loud boys and will win many people over with her quietly charming quality of comedy." The Skinny, 2007
"Maeve Higgins is here to demonstrate how to do Irish charm. She’s not daft, she doesn’t lay it on with a trowel, dimpling and twinkling away, hers is probably the most natural and uncontrived performance you could wish for." Chortle, 2007
