As always your hosts are Louis and Stewart and if you get your tickets from Piletilevi before Aug 8th they are only 10€!

Ardal O’Hanlon (IRL)

Award winning comedian, actor, writer – and star of Father Ted (C4); My Hero (BBC 1), Val Falvey (RTE) and Leagues Apart (RTE). A highly acclaimed stand up, Ardal has toured to sell out audiences internationally and has released two Top Ten stand up DVD’s. He continues to be one of the most sought after comedians working, with regular sell out solo tours in the UK, USA and Australia. With guest leads in programmes as diverse as Skins (C4) and Doctor Who (BBC), Ardal also stars in the feature film, Wide Open Spaces. His debut novel The Talk of the Town remained in the Best Seller charts for more than six months and was recently voted one of the 1001 books to read before you die.

Yoshi Obayashi (JPN/USA)

Yoshi was born in Japan, but is ethnically a North Korean. He was not aware of his background until he was 18 years old. This might have led him into the world of comedy (due to the fact that his family was too cheap to send him to a psychiatrist). Since Yoshi does not possess any nuclear bombs, he uses his horrible comedy to spread misery and his signature “awfulness.” The first and only winner of the Pyongyang International Comedy Fest, he has participated in NBC’s Last Comic Standing and as well as Russell Peters’ Comics Without Borders, and was also a consultant and writer for seasons 1 & 2 of Dave Attell’s Showtime series Dave’s Old Porn. Yoshi has enjoyed pening for Jim Norton, Dave Attell, Russell Peters, Pablo Francisco and Joe Rogan.

You can also hear him on David “Mr. Facebook” Choe’s podcast “KGB” (Koreans Gone Bad). After working as a DVD producer for nine years, Yoshi was unceremoniously fired from one of the premier porn companies, Evil Angel. During his career, he has chaptered 762 porn movies!
