BOOKED OUT The Dublin Clubs History

BOOKED OUT

Journalist Aidan Fitzmaurice takes the helm as MC, leading a lively panel of club historians from Bohemians, Shelbourne, Shamrock Rovers and St. Patrick’s Athletic. Together, they’ll dive into the rich histories of Dublin’s great clubs – and explore how each has shaped the sporting and social fabric of the city.

The Rodfather – Roddy Collins in conversation with Paul Howard

Get ready for a riot of stories, slagging and pure Dublin mischief as Roddy Collins returns to his childhood theatre of dreams – Dalymount Park – for an unmissable live event with Paul Howard, creator of Ross O’Carroll Kelly.

Expect a fast-paced evening packed with outrageous tales from the dugout and beyond, moments of heart, and the kind of comic timing only this duo can deliver.

Tears and laughter guaranteed.
