At The Cobblestone · 77 North King Street, Smithfield, Dublin 7
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
Comedian Dan Stephens brings a stand-up set to The Cobblestone in Smithfield on Saturday 24 October, a rare comedy booking at a venue better known for its nightly traditional music sessions. It’s a one-off show rather than a regular club night.
The Cobblestone’s back room and upstairs space occasionally host live music and spoken-word bookings outside its usual trad session schedule, and this stand-up date follows that pattern: a single evening performance rather than a recurring comedy club. Expect a pub-room comedy atmosphere rather than a purpose-built comedy club, with the show starting at 7:30pm and the Eventbrite listing giving a finish time of 10:30pm, so it runs as an evening booking rather than a late-night one. As one of Dublin’s best-known independent music pubs, the venue has the kind of small, characterful room that suits an intimate stand-up set.
Because the Cobblestone doesn’t usually run comedy, it’s worth checking the Eventbrite listing for the exact room, doors time and any support acts before travelling, and booking ahead given the venue’s capacity is limited.
The Cobblestone is a minute’s walk from the Smithfield stop on the Luas Red Line, which connects to Heuston Station, the Four Courts and the city centre. Dublin Bus routes serving the north quays and Smithfield Square stop close by, and there is limited paid street parking in the surrounding streets.
Smithfield Square, the Jameson Distillery Bow St and the Luas line are all within a few minutes’ walk of the pub, easy to combine with an evening out. There’s more to explore across Co. Dublin.
