Aoife dunne

Presented by Dublin Fringe Festival and Guinness Open Gate Brewery as part of Creativity on Tap, bringing bold live performance to one of Dublin’s most distinctive spaces.

Aoife Dunne brings her darkly funny storytelling to Guinness Open Gate Brewery for one special night.

Fresh from sold-out performances across Ireland and the UK, including London’s Leicester Square Theatre and two successful Edinburgh Festival Fringe runs, Aoife has quickly established herself as one of Ireland’s most exciting new comedy voices. Bringing the darkly funny, deeply personal world of Good Grief to Dublin Fringe Festival, expect sharp observations, big laughs and an unflinching look at grief, family, identity and the strange business of finding your way through it all.

Expect big laughs, great beer and a stacked comedy line-up in one of Dublin 8’s most distinctive spaces.

Doors open at 5pm. Come early and join us for pre-show drinks before comedy begins at 7pm.
