THE PROSECCO EXPRESS
13-14 April
Bruce Mason Centre
Due to a relentless ageing process, Irish comedian Joanne McNally is somehow in her late 30s without many of the ‘things’ everyone else seems to have. The comedian’s latest show raises critical questions, such as if her Tinder match describing themselves as ‘spiritual’ on a dating app is a warning sign. The antithesis of problem-solving, yet oddly reassuring – McNally is hilarious.
DANS LE NOIR

The Grand Millennium
Three evenings a week, the Grand Millennium invites the public to experience this truly unique dining event. Set in a dark room, you’ll indulge in a delicious, fresh Japanese-inspired menu by chef Akihiro Nakamura, and encouraged to converse with those around you in this immersive environment.

1-6 April
Q Theatre
A slight twist on the existential yet absurdly comedic play Waiting for Godot sees a pair of hapless understudies wait for their chance to appear in the production. But will their time come? It seems as if the understudies are better versed than the cast, in what it really means to wait for Godot.
