ONE MAN STAR WARS: SPIRIT 13 November – 25 November
Charles Ross’s One Man Star Wars should be fairly self-explanatory. It’s running in Spirit on Middle Abbey Street for two weeks during November, and you can book tickets here
DUBLIN COMIC CON 25 November
I’ve already mentioned this here, but also wanted to mention that the previous night, Friday the 24th November, there will be a big Charity Table Quiz in aid of Crohn’s Disease.
John Hendrick of The 3rd Place says:
We’re hosting a pub quiz on Friday the 24th of November upstairs in the Bull and Castle Pub at Christchurch. It will be a selection of questions and topics from Comic Books to General Knowledge.
A table of 4 costs €40 and all the con guests will be attending so it’s your chance to get up close and personal for a beer with some of comics best writers and artists. Who, by the way will have their own team and have already boasted to me that they think they’re going to win this. What’s even better is all proceeds from the night are going to charity, so you can’t say fairer than that.
After the quiz we’ve got the venue for the night so we’ll be able to stay on there until the wee hours of the morning in preparation for the con the next day. Anyone interested in coming along should let me know and anyone who can’t get a full team together I’ll hook up with other participants.
