Belly Laughs — Comedy, Whiskey & Cocktails at The Focacceria

Whiskey, cocktails and four of the funniest comedians in the country — what could possibly go wrong?

Belfast Whiskey Week isn't all swirling, sniffing and tasting notes — sometimes you just need a proper laugh with a proper dram. Belly Laughs brings four of Northern Ireland's best stand-ups to The Focacceria for one night only: Ciaran Franco, Alan Irwin, Rónán Linskey and Luke McGibbon.

While they take care of the funny, we'll take care of the rest — three whiskies through the night, a whiskey cocktail to get you started, and light bites fresh from The Focacceria's ovens. Two hours of comedy, whiskey and very good bread. It's the craic, distilled.

Doors 8:30pm for your arrival cocktail; comedy from 9pm.

The setting: The Focacceria, 52 Boucher Road, Belfast — the Hundredth Monkey Bakery crew's home of sourdough and focaccia, turned comedy club for the night.
