Lisa Joyce is an up-and-coming comedian who has been creating a storm around Dublin. With some very prestigious awards under her belt she decided it was time to venture out on her own and do a one woman show! I caught up with before her recent gig in The Twisted Pepper to discuss comedy and being a female comedian in Dublin! What made you want to get into comedy? Well I was in college in Galway and did a few gigs which went really well. Then I did a gig which went really badly, it was during rag week and it made me want to stop.

For any bookish types who happen to be in town this evening, The Loft Bookshop on the top floor of Middle Abbey Street’s Twisted Pepper building is having a grand opening starting from 7.30pm, featuring “some wine, a little food and some music”. It’s a lovely wee place altogether — the selection is small but thoughtully assembled (any shop that stocks The Illuminatus! Trilogy is aces in my book) and the staff are friendly and genuinely enthusiastic. Plus the award-winning 3fe coffee shop is just downstairs (although it closes at 7pm… still, future reference and all that). Give it a look, why don’t you. http://theloftbookshop.com/ http://twitter.com/theloftbookshop
