KEY POINTS:
If you're planning to see Ed Byrne, Carl Barron or Phil Nichol at the Comedy Festival, you'd better book now say festival organisers, who are expecting sellout shows from the Irishman, Aussie and Canadian.
You'd also better get your skates on for tickets to Dylan Moran's third show, which was arranged after the first two sold out. Fellow Irishman Ardal O'Hanlon's only show last Saturday also sold out.
Last year 69,000 festival tickets were snapped up and organisers are expecting a record year if sales continue at the present rate.
