Just had a great morning with Shane. He is a true professional, he analyses deconstructs and explains the process in the simplest way to allow the shooting process to become so natural. He even thought us some communication skills ! This is well worth doing.

Reviewed By Amyjeanos

My boyfriend and I visited this comedy club and it really was tiny! I would recommend coming early enough to make sure you have a comfy seat, as it really is small! The place was full and the atmosphere was great. The free pizza was from supermacs along with sausages and wedges (my boyfriend and I are vegan and were delighted to see wedges!) The host was absolutely hilarious, along with all the acts. Great value!

We cater for ages 10 and over (no upper age limit), so if you think you can… then do!

Thanks to all the team at Eile Mental for a fantastic experience. It was really well set up and organised and in a cool location.

Great fun was had escaping the Vault room! It was very well set up, challenging yet exciting having to think outside the box. We felt super safe regarding all things Covid. Would definitely return to do another room here, when in Galway again. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of making a booking and looking for a fun evening, 10/10. Thanks for looking after us Niall!
