Nothing beats having a proper laugh at a comedy gig, however hard you might be laughing at the TV, so get dressed up and head out for a night of laughs.
Go in a big group, with a friend or by yourself - just beware of sitting in the front row if you’re not a fan of getting involved with the set.
Here are some of the funniest comedy gigs you can attend in Belfast this year.
5. Tom Allen - June 9-10, Ulster Hall
Quintessentially British comedian Tom Allen might sound prim and proper but his jokes are anything from what he first appears to be. Having recently moved out from his family home, he’s got plenty of quick-witted comments on adulting and much more. For more information, go to waterfront.co.uk/tom-allen Photo: Tom Allen - facebook
6. Colin Murphy - June 29-July 1, Grand Opera House
Colin Murphy is back on the road with his biggest tour to date, offering an insight into his life on and off the TV screen. Whatchamacolin is filled with self-deprecating humour, blazing expletives and insulting observations of the world around him.

7. Serena Terry - June 30, Ulster Hall
You might know her best as TikTok’s very own Mammy Banter, but Serena Terry is so much more than her online persona. This hilarious social media sensation and true Derry girl will be sharing her unfiltered relatable content with the Ulster Hall audience following the success of her stand-up debut at The Fringe.

8. Sarah Millican - December 8-11, Waterfront Hall
Proud Geordie Sarah Millican will be presenting her side-splitting stories from nearly five decades of life at the Waterfront Hall. The unapologetically loud comedienne is set to own the stage with her giggly gags as she has in all of her previous tours and appearances.
