City Limits - The Cork Comedy Club , Corks Biggest and Longest Running Comedy Club (EST 1993 ) — Local services in Cork

I have been planning on coming to City Limits for nearly 10 years and I finally made it on Saturday! We had a great night out and I highly recommend attending a few shows! I have never been to a comedy club before and I have to say I will definitely be back as it was something different and really enjoyable! The City Limits venue is a medium sized venue that can comfortably take 150 to 200 people without being packed. Everyone has a table and they are arranged around the stage adjacent to the bar area. There was plenty of space between tables to walk through to get to the bar or restrooms. The club has been running for many years and has had some famous faces grace its doors so we could safely assume that the acts booked would be great quality! Firstly, the owner of the premises came on stage and welcomed the audience. He gave intros to the various acts for the night ahead and welcomed on local Cork comedian Paul Crowley! Paul was very funny and he got the night off to a great start! He intorduced each act onto the stage which began with Ian Burke from Galway who certainly got the crowd laughing followed by the City Limits Barman who had his own act! Finally Paul intorduces the main headline act, Terry Alderton to the stage and he gave a fantastic performance! Terry has so much energy put into his show it...

A great night out with friends! Highly recommend.

Went to see Chris Kent in this comedy club for my birthday, thoroughly enjoyed it . I went with a few friends who were all raving about it after too. Definitely would recommend it for something a little different on a night out. The owner of the venue did the warm-up/intros to the acts and is gas! You can tell he is into his comedy so you can safely assume the acts booked will be quality too. Even the barman did his own act! The place is all about the comedy. When we were there, he even gave out treats (tayto & rolos) before the acts started which was a nice touch to welcome us back after lockdown! The venue itself is quite big (decent bit of space between tables), clean and comfortable. There also wasn't any major queues for the bar which is still within ears distance of the stage so you don't miss...

Visited here with a group of friends for a birthday. 1st 3 comedians were great, the main act wasn’t to my taste but I’m sure he appealed to a certain crowd. However my night was hampered by the attitudes of the staff. I was told “my voice was carrying” by a staff member despite the fact that I wasn’t talking. When I left to go stand outside, to make sure my silence didn’t interrupt other people’s enjoyment any further I met other people who had been told the same thing. Another staff member then approached us outside to tell us to be quiet outside. There are other great places to see comedy in cork, which host similar gigs, without being told how to behave in their venue. I would recommend The Comedy Cavern or the Roundy where you can see great comedy without being told how to behave in...
