Karl Spain is an Irish comedian from Limerick. He is from the Corbally area of the city and was educated at CBS Sexton Street. In 2000, Spain won the RT� award for Best New Act. Spain appeared at the Montreal Just for Laughs comedy festival in 2003, which was later repeated on RT� television in Ireland. He has also featured on The Panel and is a regular at the Kilkenny Cat Laughs comedy festival. Spain later ran a series on RT� entitled Karl Spain Wants a Woman. He appeared as master of kung-fu on the fifth series of Killinaskully in October 2008. In 2009 he had yet another TV show on RT� Two, Karl Spain wants to Rock. In March 2010 Karl began a tour as supporting act to fellow Irish comedian, Ed Byrne. His style is self-deprecating, and his humour appeals to a broad age range. His material includes some audience feedback items with impromptu gags in response to his "victim", and also focuses on male "laddish" culture such as stag-night exploits. It is fresh and inventive, and will not shock or offend most mainstream comedy audiences.
