So, was that the best Tiger Dublin Fringe Festival ever? Some great stuff in it anyway, next year will have a lot to live up to! There is a new kid in town, with the return of the Dublin Theatre Festival, so the madness of September continues! It runs from the 29th of September to the 16th of October, with lots of events all around the city. There’s also another couple of festivals worth a mention, with the Dublin Festival of History running until the 8th of October, with lots of free talks. The Oktoberfest also runs until the 2nd of October beside the CHQ building.

A non-vintage week for gigs around Dublin, but there’s still the Unthanks in the Pavillion, Engine Alley, Hare Squead, The Mission and a few more besides…
