Comedians born in Kildare

Kildare is a historic town in the fertile plains of eastern Ireland, in the county that shares its name. It has long been associated with St Brigid, whose monastery left it a cathedral and round tower, and it lies beside the Curragh, the famous stretch of open grassland at the centre of Irish horse racing and thoroughbred breeding. As Ireland's live comedy scene extends across the country, the town's venues and nearby attractions now welcome touring stand-up acts.

Comedian Aisling Bea was born in Kildare.
