Omagh Laughs Back, tonight until Sunday June 7, Omagh

ARDAL O'Hanlon, David O'Doherty and Colin Murphy are just three of the gag merchants lined up for the first ever Omagh Laughs Back comedy festival, which kicks off tonight.

Organised by the Comedy Club at Daly's Bar, it's taking place over three days at Sallys, Daly's, Main Street, Bogan's and The Basement at Community House, as festival co-ordinator Conor Keys explains.

The whole town should be buzzing," he says, "we just hope that the local community support the shows and events.

"A lot of them are free or 'pay what you want' shows, to be honest there are shows featuring some exceptional comedians that will cost you nothing to get into  for example 800 Years of Annoying The English at The Basement.

"We really have something for everyone including a magical mystery tour and a pop-up comedy club."
