Owen Colgan, Adam Mogey, & Gerard Ryan perform live at Lifford Old Courthouse for a night of comedy hosted by Ronan Boyle.
Owen Colgan is an Irish comedian, actor and content creator, best known as Billy “Buzz” McDonnell from the cult comedy series Hardy Bucks. He helped create the original web series with friends while at university, which grew into an RTÉ series and feature film. More recently, Colgan has developed a solo comedy career, appearing on podcasts and performing live across Ireland. His style is conversational, loose and heavily personality-driven - essentially storytelling and “talking shite” with an unmistakably Irish flavour. He also has a substantial social media following and continues working across comedy, acting and podcasting.
Adam Mogey is a Northern Irish stand-up comedian from Antrim who has built a strong reputation on the NI comedy circuit. His comedy is highly personal, with his experiences of Tourette’s Syndrome forming a distinctive part of his material and stage persona. His breakthrough came in 2022, when he sold out shows in Antrim and Randalstown, toured with Paddy McDonnell and performed at Belfast’s Empire.Since then, he has continued performing across Northern Ireland, appearing on major comedy line-ups and working as a co-host on comedy events. His style is energetic, irreverent, raw and heavily rooted in storytelling, audience interaction and good old Northern Irish craic.
Gerard Ryan is a Dublin-born comedian now based in Monaghan, bringing a distinctly Irish perspective to the stand-up circuit. He began gigging shortly before the COVID lockdowns brought live comedy to a halt, making his early development an unusual introduction to the business. His move from Dublin to Monaghan has become part of his comedy identity, giving him plenty of material about the cultural differences - and similarities - between the capital and rural Ireland. He has appeared on comedy line-ups across Ireland, including a 2024 Laughs@TheLoft show in Derry alongside Danny O’Brien, Alan Irwin and Ro Boyle.
Ronan Boyle, is a Strabane-born comedian who has become one of the best-known comedy acts in the North West. He is the creator of the viral Strabanter comedy page, co-host of The Big Massive Podcast, and co-writer and star of the hit comedy play Orange Is the New Green. He also founded and runs the Boiler Room Comedy Club in Strabane, helping bring major Irish and Northern Irish comedians to rural audiences. A multi-award-winning comic, Ro is known for energetic storytelling, sharp observations, audience interaction and his uniquely chaotic Northern Irish style. His comedy is rooted firmly in Irish life, family, relationships and everyday madness.
