An Evening of Reading, Music & Conversation with Nick Cave - By far the best company to spend the evening in tonight is grumpy Uncle Nick’s. To coincide with the release of his novel ‘The Death of Bunny Munro’ (which we haven’t read yet, but are informed by an English grad friend that it’s McCarthyesque) the first man of Australian rock noir is spending the night in Vicar Street, flouting the smoking ban and knocking back whiskeys. The problem? It’s long sold out. However, as the below video of skeletal Nick taking fellow antipodean Zane Lowe down ten notches should be enough to have you on the hunt for a nearby tout-on-crutches shouting “buyin’ or sellin’ tickets dere folks?”

Keith Farnan - Touted as a Dylan-Moran-In-The-Making (we’re not sure whether he shares the same penchant for swigging from bottles of wine), Keith Farnan’s stand-up takes the piss out of the death penalty tonight at the Project.
Details here.
Tales of Ballycumber - Despite having received something of a panning (the Guardian wrote that ‘ It is beautiful but strangely inert’), Sebastian Barry’s Wicklow mountainside-set Tales of Ballycumber is still the biggest theatre pull in town with noted performances from Stephen Rea and Aaron Monaghan.
