f the Silver Screen at the IFI Comedy thrives on intimacy and that’s exactly what you get at one of Dublin’s newest Comedy clubs - In Stitches.

The stage has welcomed some of the biggest names in comedy, including Bill Burr, Simon O’Keefe, Mark Normand, Michelle Wolf, Joanne McNally, Tommy Tiernan, Dara Ó Briain, and Jason Byrne. institchescomedy.com This June, the Irish Film Institute presents Dietrich x Garbo, a season celebrating two of cinema’s most iconic and enduring stars. Running until June 29th, audiences can rediscover the brilliance of Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo through twelve landmark films that defined their careers and reshaped Hollywood’s golden age. Though often compared and occasionally cast as rivals, Dietrich and Garbo embodied contrasting personas—one provocative and political, the other elusive and enigmatic. Highlights include The Blue Angel, Camille, Morocco, Queen Christina, and Judgement at Nuremberg. Each screening offers a rare opportunity to experience their magnetic screen presence as it was meant to be seen—on the big screen. Booking now at ifi.ie or via the IFI Box Office. theatre ESCAPED ALONE Hatch Theatre Company and The Everyman, in association with Once Off Productions, proudly present Caryl Churchill’s Escaped Alone at Project Arts Centre. Directed by Annabelle Comyn, this searing, surreal comedy weaves suburban chats and apocalyptic monologues into a darkly witty meditation on ageing, anxiety, and collapse. Featuring a stellar Irish cast – Sorcha Cusack, Anna Healy, Ruth McCabe, and Deirdre Monaghan – Churchill’s 60-minute masterpiece explores friendship, fear, and survival with urgency and bite. Critically acclaimed, Escaped Alone is funny, feminist, and profoundly unsettling.

Jorge Satorre’s exhibition Did I say I miss you? brings together sculpture and drawing in a playful, self-reflective exploration of storytelling, craft, and materiality. At its centre is a large new sculpture, constructed from a steel armature and hand-woven hazel sticks and brambles—an intentionally risky, solitary process marked by scratches and cuts. Alongside this are pencil drawings depicting insects inhabiting the gallery, socialising and observing art. Satorre abandons traditional fables in favour of unresolved narratives, using humour and precision to invite a deeper look at how meaning and form continually shift.
