As the get-in begins @zoovenues, we’re flashing back to one of our fave 5/5 #edfringe shows… When street harassment meets Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 spirituality, the result is ‘Beasts (Why Girls Shouldn’t Fear The Dark)’ &mdash
Here we go again… #fringe #edfringe #2025 🎉 As a reminder, here’s what we cover: #theatre #theater 🎭 #musicaltheatre #musicals 🎤#comedy 🤣 #music 🎶 #circus 🎪 #dance 💃🏽
Inspired by the noughties cult classic that kick-started the ‘found footage’ craze, The Blair Bitch Project brings the laughs & the chills in equal measure… Writer/director @finellawaddilove takes us on a goo-filled, tension-p
#Throwback Back at #GrimFest by terrifying demand is @theatreinthebin with FRED STRANGEBONE…🪗 Last year @theatreinthebin had us squirming in our seats & we’re tots coming back for more. Here’s why…⬇️ A character-base
One of our all-time fave #edfringe shows is back on tour & we are beyond #obsessed 😍 Here’s why you will be, too… ⬇️ Monologues often risk drifting into self-indulgence, but @nqdworld’s ‘Bullring Techno Makeout Jamz&rsq
Don Murphy isn’t your average bird. A proud Kerry cock turned troubled Hollywood star, he’s a role any #actor would relish— & @evaclaireoconnor cooks, eats & leaves no crumbs…😋 You’d think a ketamine-addicted
#Throwback to another #DublinFringe23 show that has been killing it on tour this summer👏 we are still #obsessed “Just a Minute” is a show that nails the everyday grind & the silent struggles that many of us face. The vibe? Just ima
@darbyalexanderjames Little Squirt is a standout piece of cabaret that dives headfirst into the murky waters of sperm donation. From the moment we see James marooned on an intimate set—a minimalist mat, chest & crate—dressed in a chee
You might know @cathal_cleary from SUZY STORCK which ran @smockalleytheatre in April. We’re still buzzing about their #DublinFringe23 show🐝⬇️ #BlueThunder is an immersive production that plunges us into the depths of toxic masculinity. Set in
In Malignant Humour, @gumbrielle elevates illness into art, hanging her life—literally—on a trapeze. This is no sentimental recounting of a cancer diagnosis; it’s an unflinching, at times even curious, exploration of one p
In 4 girls the first letter e, @MissingRibCo’s slow-burning psychological thriller, innocence isn’t lost—it’s devoured. Evie, Esther, Elise & Emaline are preteens obsessed with a #videogame featuring ‘The King’
JONATHAN: By order of the Peaky Grindrs might be billed as stand-up but it feels more like a late-night b*tch sesh either with or about #BeckyWithTheGoodHair. A freshly divorced (he’s single!) TV exec (!!) @PeakyGrindrs’ debut is less #Pe
Today we’re giving you cuties a 2-4-1: a #behindthecurtain & bitesized #interview mashup about a show we’re #obsessed with—no borderlines here; we’re all in… ⬇️ @stephenbrower’s ‘Palatable Gay Robot&rsq
We are abuzz 🐝 about the return of Palatable Gay Robot. Here’s why… ⬇️ Comedy becomes meta-commentary in @stephenbrower’s Palatable Gay Robot, an incisive dissection of gay stereotypes, designed to be, as the title suggests, &ldq
“Comala, Comala” is a theatrical conjuring—a space where Brechtian formality meets #GarcíaMárquez’s magical realism, wrapped in the poetic intensity of #Lorca. The source material for Mestiza playwright @laleonac
Cambridge University Musical Theatre Society’s (the brains behind #Six 👑) The Chaplain plunges us into the shadowy depths of Victorian London, where a prison chaplain wrestles with his faith amid the confessions of three doomed souls…
With a title that is somehow both a #TomGreen YA novel & #TaylorSwift power ballad, “The Things I Did While Waiting For You To Fall Back In Love With Me” is a darkly funny, fiercely honest solo show that captures the bittersweet comed
@rachelgalvo Galvo’s The Shite Feminist is a swift 50 min exploration of the contradictions of modern womanhood, served with a side of self-deprecating humour & cheeky charm. Clad in a #Barbie pink dress & towering heels 👠 (#werk) Galv
The Disappeared” is a wild ride through the glitter-soaked heart of resistance. @Novaduh takes the stage with ferocious energy, blending burlesque, cabaret & personal history into a defiant act of queer storytelling. This is a last stand&md
Callum Patrick Hughes’ How Can I Help You? is an invitation into the lovably chaotic, compassionate mind of a chronic people pleaser. Through guitar-strummed stories & disarming humour, Hughes draws us into a realisation that saying “
