Comedian, former Never Mind the Buzzcocks presenter and all-round curly-haired dreamboat Simon Amstell returns to Dublin tonight, bringing his fourth tour To Be Free to Vicar Street. The BAFTA-nominated Brit and social misfit takes an honest approach to life’s ups and downs in all their mortifying glory. Tickets €28 here.

Trainspotting: on stage 

Now until March 21st, Cork Arts Theatre

tts

Take a trip through the grim, dank recesses of Edinburgh in a mind-bending new production of Irvine Welsh’s darkly comic, oft heart-breaking Trainspotting. If you haven’t seen the movie, brace yourself: you’re in for a rough ride. This modern British classic is a tale of drugs, sex and subculture, addiction, loss, anger and a forgotten part of society. Tickets €10 here.
