LITERARY DEATH MATCH - Dublin!

The madness and fun that is the Literary Death Match returns to Dublin next week. It's a great night out (as a former LDM champ, I may be biased....no, I'm not - it's a really fun night. I laughed until my jaw hurt.)

This is from their site:

"After a too-long two month wait, Literary Death Match returns to The Workman's Club with our odd flurry of literary and comedic shenaniganism, in what will be a must-see night of levity, lit and pretty lighting!


First up on the roll call of literary geniuses is the jaw droppingly funny poetry tycoon Fintan O’Higgins, Hip-Dweebster-Princess turned writer Sabina Sirbu, poetry funatarian Erin Fornoff and film directing, novel writing legend Peter Sheridan.

On the all-star judging panel we have Father Ted star Joe Rooney, journalist and filmmaker Derek O’Connor and literary do-it-all Mia Gallagher!
Hosted by LDM creator Todd Zuniga."

Where: The Workman's Club, 10 Wellington Quay, Dublin  (map)
When: Doors at 8, Show at 9:15 (sharp); afterdrinks after.
Cost: €7 preorder; €10 on the door.
