From the workshops, we\u2019d love to then include some of the participants in the Sligo Comedy Festival in 2025 to give them a space to showcase their talent and perhaps open the door for future career opportunites. Terry has been one of the driving forces of the Sligo Comedy Club which is a community of local comedians who put on a variety of shows around Sligo. The group has been open to anyone to participate and many of the gigs have been free to ensure accessibility for all. We have worked with Sligo Social Prescribing at the Sligo Family Resource Centre to accommodate some of their service users to get involved. Brendan has been running the So Funny Sligo Comedy Festival since 2019 with a wide range of paid and free events produced around the county, plus this year we included a new award for new Irish Talent.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":32353,"template":"","class_list":["post-32352","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Sligo Comedy Collective - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"For many years the three of us have been performing and running Comedy events around Sligo.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-sligo-comedy-collective\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Sligo Comedy Collective - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"For many years the three of us have been performing and running Comedy events around Sligo.We have detailed our own backgrounds below but the core of the project is to make comedy more accessible to people who may not regularly get to participate or engage.We will do this with TY workshops, Adult Workshops, Improv Classes [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-sligo-comedy-collective\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CreativeIrl\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@creativeirl\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-sligo-comedy-collective\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-sligo-comedy-collective\/\",\"name\":\"The Sligo Comedy Collective - Creative Ireland Programme\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-sligo-comedy-collective\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-sligo-comedy-collective\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2024\/08\/comedy-image.jpeg\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-08-16T02:04:36+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-sligo-comedy-collective\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-sligo-comedy-collective\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-sligo-comedy-collective\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2024\/08\/comedy-image.jpeg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2024\/08\/comedy-image.jpeg\",\"width\":1744,\"height\":1768},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-sligo-comedy-collective\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"The Sligo Comedy Collective\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/\",\"name\":\"Creative Ireland Programme\",\"description\":\"The Creative Ireland Programme is guided by a vision that every person in Ireland will have the opportunity to realise their full creative potential.
