Kilkenomics
Kilkenny City, Co. Kilkenny
6 November - 9 November 2025
Kilkenomics is the world's first economics and comedy festival and takes places each year in the medieval city of Kilkenny.

Kilkenomics is the world’s first economics festival which brings together some of the world’s leading economists, financial analysts and media commentators with some of our funniest, sharpest standup comedians. We’ve been called “Davos with jokes” and we wouldn’t disagree with that assessment.

Our informal, entertaining formats invite our audiences to engage and enjoy. As we like to say: it’s serious, but it’s fun too! Jump into Kilkenomics now and engage with as many shows as possible, equip yourself with the information and insight we hope can help us all make smart choices for our futures – inform and entertain yourselves.

Readers are advised to check with the organiser before relying on the details published here.
