    As some of you may or may not know I have a hobby in which I perform as a drag king, with puppets. I mostly perform (when I do, which isn't LOADS) at burlesque and cabaret shows. There's a BUNCH of Chritsmassy themed ones coming up, and I will be performing in at least one. So for something a little more adult celebrating Christmas why not come along! :D

    Thursday 13th is already sold out, and the Tuesday and Wednesday are going fast, in case anybody was thinking of heading to this. :)

    Going to this again this year. It was so good last year. I was a bit under prepared. The majority of people were well in the spirit of things, few drinks, and Christmas jumpers everywhere.

    The National Craft Fair “ Gifted” is on in the RDS from the 5-9th of Dec.
    Fantastic place to get a gift. I have been several time

    Tip:if you scout around on some of the vendors Facebook pages, they often will have free tickets floating around. I have been very lucky always getting free tickets in to the Fair.

    ^^ we got our free tickets in the post yesterday, I think we bought tickets for it in 2016 and signed up on the way out for free tickets the following year and have gotten them again this year (we didn't sign up to anything last time).

    So if you do end up buying tickets, do it online so they have your details to send free ones next year :pac:

    Hi , was wondering if anyone knew of Christmas events, aimed primarily at adults.
    I know of the Dublin flea market next weekend. Other years the light house have had Christmas themed films

    Hi the lighthouse do have their "Naughty or Nice" season on but you'd best act quick a lot of the screenings are over or are sold out!
