Comedian Sophia Wren
There is something for everyone this week in Toales in Dundalk with live music gigs, comedy and DJs.
Thursday 29th August - Fireside Sessions present Bedside Community plus Damien Adare. Free Admission, show starts 9pm
Fireside Sessions is an acoustic club that showcases the best in acoustic acts, always inside by the fire in the bar, always free admission, and is proud to welcome back Bedside Community's multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Roberto Tamburrini, a regular (and favourite) in Toales, with an eclectic mix of influences shaping his set of truly original songs.
From folk to post-punk, with hints of grunge and shoegaze and early 2000's indie, the sounds come together to form a moody melancholic form of indie rock which intertwines with honest, thought-provoking lyrics that tackle topics from mental health, grief, addiction, and the simple struggles of everyday modern life.
Support on the night comes from local singer/songwriter Damien Adare.
Friday 30th August - El Paso Comedy club presents Sophia Wren plus Angela Mullin, Claire Roche, Shinanne Higgins, Breda Hegarty and host Elizabeth Redmond. Admission €10, doors 8pm
Look out everyone..... it's the return of El Paso Comedy Club, a night of guaranteed hilarious stand-up comedy!
Featuring the incredible headline act Sophia Wren, fresh from her appearance at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, the winner of
“Show Me The Funny’ in 2024 and a finalist in Bray Comedy Festival’s ‘Best New Act’ competition, and a very popular regular in all of Dublin’s Comedy clubs.
Also on the night Angela Mullin, Claire Roche, Shinanne Higgins, Breda Hegarty and of course your fab-u-lous El Paso host for the evening, everyone's favourite Dundalk Texan - Elizabeth Redmond!
Saturday 32 August - 30+ Disco in aid of The Feature Film "Sludge". Admission €8.
Get your dancing converse on, it's a night of pure bangers as DJ Amsterdam plays all the 90s floor fillers from the 90s.
It's going to be a real party vibe with food from 5.30pm and the volume being raised from 8.30pm.
All proceeds go towards funding for the feature film Sludge, a dark thriller that will be produced and directed by local filmmaker Sinéad Murphy, who is filming it here in Dundalk.
