Barry Murphy is the true Godfather of Irish alternative comedy and a permanently welcome presence at Galway Comedy Festival. 

Barry has been making Ireland laugh for more than 30 years, whether through his solo stand-up; his Gunther character who views the Irish through a severely arched eyebrow; or as a member of the brilliant sports satire trio, Après Match.
