It is that beautiful time of year again. The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming and the comedians are singing.
The Collaborations Agency and MCD are delighted to announce the return of The Bureau De Change Song Contest for its sixth instalment, taking place at Dublin’s iconic 3Olympia Theatre on Friday 15th May 2026.
Tickets priced from €31 including booking fee & €2 restoration levy on sale now with Ticketmaster Ireland
Created by acclaimed comedian Tony Cantwell, The Bureau De Change Song Contest has become one of the most anticipated nights in Ireland’s comedy calendar. A riotous celebration of music, mischief and outright mayhem, the show sees some of the country’s most beloved comedians channel the spirit of Eurovision in a gloriously unhinged parody spectacle.
Each performer selects a country, writes and produces an original song from scratch, and competes live on stage for the coveted crown. The result is a fiercely competitive, joyfully chaotic showdown that blends sharp satire with full-throttle musical performance. It is Eurovision, but through a distinctly Irish comedic lens.
Now in its sixth year, the contest continues to grow in scale and ambition, with previous editions earning sell-out crowds and a devoted following. The 2026 event promises to be the biggest yet, bringing together an exceptional line-up of talent including Tony Cantwell, Michael Fry, Justine Stafford, Ali Fox, John Doran, Killian Sundermann, Kevin McGahern, Alison Spittle, Meg Reilly, Peter McGann, Sadhbh McLoughlin, Ryan Carrick, with more acts to be announced.
Tony Cantwell said: “This show started as a chaotic idea that refused to behave. Six years on, it has taken on a life of its own. Every year the bar gets higher, the costumes get bolder and the songs get more outrageous. It is everything Eurovision represents, just with more jokes and fewer rules.”
Kevin McGahern, David O’Doherty, Ali Woods, Laura Smyth, Tom Ballard, Milo Edwards, Dan Tiernan & Mike Rice

“So F**king Funny!”-Joanne McNally
“Gas Bastard”-The Rubberbandits

Odiddy Ent brings you night of comedy 2. We have a double bill this time With Kevin McGahern and Owen Colgan from the Hardy Bucks. Doors 7
The last weekend of the month is always the best, isn’t it? You’ve just been paid, you’ve got a bit of extra cash in the back pocket and you want a night out… a proper night out! That’s why we always put on the BEST acts on for the final weekend of the month and make it the best line you'll find anywhere in Ireland!
We’re flying in Egyptian American comedian Tamer Kattan in especially for this weekend. We found Tamer 4 years ago and honestly, he’s probably our favourite International act of all time… and we fly 52 International comics in every year. That’s how good he is! He chats about what it was like growing up in USA and will leave you howling with his American anecdotes. This guys is going to make it BIG, trust us.
Tamer will be joined by Dancing with the Stars’ comedian Kevin McGahern who danced his way into the nation’s hearts on the new season of Dancing with the Stars. Kevin is taking off his tap shoes and stepping on to our stage to do what he does best…. COMEDY! Tamer and Kevin will be joined by rising star Martin Angolo and crowd work megastar Gar Murran.
Best line up of the month? No doubt about it.
