The three-night event will be hosted by well-known Irish stand-up comedian and actor Tom O’Mahony. Punchline is an acclaimed comedy series that brings top-tier comedic talent to Limerick. For this series, the expansive 1,000-seat UCH will be converted into a cosy 380-seat venue, creating a warm atmosphere for the audience.

He regularly performs at comedy festivals and comedy clubs around Ireland, tackling the matters of everyday life, yet he always delivers with wit.
