The Dublin Theatre Festival continues until 13th October and in the past few days I've been sampling some of what's on. Last week I got to see thisispopbaby's latest production, a howl of a cabaret show called 0800 Cupid based on a run of catastrophic life experiences, while on Saturday Anú presented it's latest site-specific theatre piece based on the writing of Sean O'Casey. Starjazzer is an ambitious and atmospheric show and ties the experience of two women separated by a century but bound by experience.

For anyone who enjoys the TV show Taskmaster you'll be familiar with Alex Horne, show creator and heel to Taskmaster General Gred Davies. Alex and his band The Horne Section were in Vicar Street last night, delighting fans with a combination of whimsical music-based comedy...and some games. Terrific fun.

Have a great week.
