For just €10 admission (pay on the door), you can catch 2 top Laughter Lounge comedians, Colm O'Regan (right) and Gar Murran (left), followed by the fantastic live Beatles Tribute by Lebowski and friends, which proved to be one of the most popular nights out at the Forum Lounge in 2010. Then on the last Saturday of each month (commencing 26th Feb), the Forum Lounge launches Waterford's "BIG NIGHT OUT", which combines 2 Laughter Lounge Comedians, a roast dinner (provided by Mary Grimes), the Beatles Live Tribute and DJ, all for the incredible price of just €25 for 5 hours of quality entertainment and a Saturday night meal out!
