Irish Kings of Comedy was created to bring the cream of Irish comedic talent to American audiences. The Ardal O'Hanlon tour is the first in a series of Irish Kings of Comedy Tours.

Unlike the Irish economy, the current comedy scene in Ireland is thriving. Irish culture is rich in wit and storytelling. As a result, Ireland has produced a stable of world class stand-up comics. American audiences have a huge appetite for the Irish sense of humor and Irish Kings of Comedy wants to bring this across the Atlantic. The Tours also give top Irish comics the opportunity of playing to audiences in the US. All Tour Dates and Venues with links to ticket sales are available on http://www.irishkingsofcomedy.com/
