Dublin Fringe Festival is a multi-disciplinary festival and year-round organisation that aims to bring fresh and innovative approaches to the arts.

It provides a huge platform for new, emerging Irish arts companies and a showcase for the finest international contemporary performing arts. The Fringe festival offers artists the chance to innovate and push the boundaries in which they work and works as a site of discovery for audiences, drawing in more than 30,000 spectators for 16 days and nights each September .

Dublin Fringe Fest will run from 8-23 September this year and has an exciting line-up of events. Highlights include:

Unwoman Part III: From the award-winning feminist theatre company THE RABBLE and trailblazing Irish artist Maeve Stone, this production explores what it means to be 'unwoman'.

Boy Child: Two of Dublin’s most prominent spoken word artists and poets, FeliSpeaks (aka Felicia Olusanya) and Dagogo Hart, deliver raw performances in a tale that aims to display the nuances of the modern day man.

Down the Drain: From Unamused Theatre comes a story about the Dublin rental crisis and the extreme lengths two young college students are forced to go to to keep a roof over their heads.
