Lisa Richards Comedy - Karl Spain (Printer Friendly Version)

Karl Spain spent most of 2005 looking for a woman, now he's looking for an audience. Having quickly established himself as one of Irelands top Comedians, Spain has gone from strength to strength and is currently performing live around Ireland to packed out audiences.
 

Having burst on the scene in 2000 as winner of the R.T.E. NEW COMEDIAN AWARD he is now established a reputation as a top headline act and excellent MC. His proudest moment was to be chosen as part of the Irish show at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival in 2003 and has since appeared at festivals all over the world from Dublin to Dubai via Australia and of course Kilkenny. 


He took his "Spain, Ireland and Beyond" tour all over the place but now he's been on TV (Karl Spain Wants A Woman – RTE), loads more will people want to see him.


"the audience were in the palm of his hand" the metro

"See him now before he gets too big" three weeks
