May is shaping up to be a busy month!
If we had a euro for every time we’ve heard “There’s a grand stretch in the evening” over
the past few weeks… To be fair, the start of the sunnier days and longer evenings is really
inspiring to get into new routines or just have a bit of craic.
So, if you’re looking for something fun to do during the week or if you’re thinking of a wild weekend, here are some upcoming events in Cork to add to your diary!
Stand-Up Comedy Club: Laura O’Mahony and Guests – 4th May
Sometimes you just need a good laugh, and you’ll certainly get that at the Coco Club’s
comedy show at The Roundy! With Cork’s comedy queen, Laura O’Mahony, and other
performers, this is definitely a night that’ll help you forget about the week by making you
laugh until you cry.
Swiftogeddon – The Taylor Swift Club Night – 4th May
Attention all Swifties: You probably know about this night already, but Swiftogeddon is
back! Happening in Cyprus Avenue, this is a totally Taylor Swift night of music, including
deep cuts, extended mixes, fan favourites, and all the hits. If you didn’t manage to get
tickets for Swift’s concerts in Dublin this summer, this night might be the next best thing.
Tickets available here.
Music at Midday – Crawford Art Gallery – 5th May
Do you fancy feeling like you’re in an episode of Bridgerton? Get yourself to the Crawford
Art Gallery for their Music at Midday series! Taking place in the Sculpture Gallery, three
different quartets from the MTU Cork School of Music – Gliondar, Elm, and Gealach Quartets – will play a variety of music by Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, and Shostakovich.
