The Kilkenomics Comedy and Economic Festival is an economics and comedy festival in Kilkenny, Ireland, the brainchild of David McWilliams and Richard Cook.[1] Its first session ran from 11 to 14 November 2010.

The festival mocks banking and political figures.[2] The festival also features its own currency known as "the marble".[3]
