Bray Comedy Festival recently presented the proceeds of their wrap party to Mental Health Ireland.

Festival coordinator Adam Burke and Rick Walsh of the Harbour Bar made the presentation to Jill O’Herlihy of Mental Health Ireland.

They raised €450 at the event which closed the festival last February.

MC Ian Coppinger was joined by comedians Karl Spain and Fred Cooke as well as Sean Begley and Joanne McNally for the festival finale.

The dates for next year’s festival have been announced and there will be town-wide fun and laughter from February 13 - 17.
