Karl Spain is coming to Toale's this Friday
Friday 18th July - El Paso Comedy presents Karl Spain + guests - Adm €12 - Doors 8pm
The El Paso Comedy Club returns to Toales Live Venue in Dundalk, hosted as always by Dundalk's favourite Texan - Elizabeth Redmond - on Friday, July 18th, with one of Ireland’s best-loved comedians, Karl Spain.
A mainstay of the Irish comedy scene for over two decades, Karl shot to national fame with the hit RTÉ series Karl Spain Wants a Woman in 2005, followed by Karl Spain Wants to Rock in 2009.
His sharp wit and relatable humour have made him a favourite on shows like The Panel, The Late Late Show, Tubridy Tonight, and more recently as the face of the Ray D’Arcy Show’s “Stand Up and Be Funny” competition.
Karl has performed stand-up across the globe—from Australia and the U.S. to the Middle East and the UK—and is a regular at major festivals including Kilkenny Cat Laughs, Galway Comedy Festival, and Edinburgh Fringe.
Whether sharing the stage with Kevin Bridges or Bernard O’Shea (Fat Chancers), Karl’s blend of observational humour and laid-back charm always delivers.
Doors op at 8pm. Admission €12. Early arrival is advised—this one’s likely to sell out.
Saturday 19th July - Fomorian + Killjoy + Burn Down The House - Doors 8pm - Adm €8
Fast-rising stars of Ireland’s underground metal scene, Fomorian return to the main stage at Toales on Saturday, 19th July, following their blistering set at the recent AurFest Music Festival.
Known for their ferocious blend of progressive heavy metal, Fomorian channels the raw power of Lamb of God, Chimaira, and Sepultura into a sound that’s both aggressive and precise—packed with pummelling riffs, technical groove, and vocals that shake the walls.
This isn’t just a gig. It’s a sonic earthquake!. Fomorian don’t take the stage—they detonate.
Expect sore necks, raw throats, and one hell of a night.
Support on the night comes from one of Dundalk's finest rock bands Killjoy and debuting in Toales, Kildare Four piece rock band Burn Down the House.
All this for just a fiver! Doors open 8pm
