American comedian and Hollywood star Chris Rock will perform in Ireland this September as part of the International Comedy Festival.
Rock, one of the world's most popular stand-up performers, will be making his debut Irish performance as part of the event.
The talented comedian has successfully made the transition to acting, and has appeared in 'Lethal Weapon 4'; 'Head of State'; and 'The Longest Yard'.
He will play Dublin's Olympia Theatre on Thursday 4 September, though extra dates are expected to be added.
The comedy festival will take place in the capital over three weeks from 1 - 20 September and will also feature Police Academy's Michael Winslow; Rich Hall; The Mighty Boosh; Jimmy Carr; and Ricky Tomlinson.
Tickets for the festival go on-sale tomorrow at 9am.
