Iveagh Gardens tomorrow

Pawwed Rig

Anyone going to this event tomorrow? It sounds pretty good but I haven't seen too much about it.

On the main stage comedian Aidan Bishop, acclaimed stand-up of the International Comedy Club, will introduce a variety of family-friendly entertainers and performers including Festival favourite, magician Brian Daly. Another highlight is the captivating singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sinéad White. Also performing are the Nepalese Cultural Group with scintillating dances and music representing various ethnic backgrounds in Nepal, the wonderful Roma Children’s Choir, Musicantia and the fantastic YOPS – Young Orchestral Pops.

Hopefully the weather holds out.
I've seen Aidan Bishop a few times and am curious to see his 'family friendly' routine

Muahahaha

Me neither, what's the event called ? And is it free ?
