Craicademia

Rascals Brewing Company, Wednesday 21st October

Craicademia, where big ideas meet curious minds. Ted-style talks with an Irish twist, less PowerPoint and more personality.

Looking for a different kind of night out?

Join us at Rascals Brewery for an evening of fascinating talks, lively conversation, and great beer. Craicademia brings curious people together to explore big ideas in a relaxed setting, where learning is social and every event sparks new conversations.

Each month, different speakers dive into topics ranging from science, history, psychology, philosophy, politics, Irish culture, film, technology, and the wonderfully weird corners of the internet. No two talks are ever the same and take place on the third Wednesday of each month.

Speakers for Wednesday 16th September:

  • Dr Lollie Mancey Ai Ethicist;
  • Luke Clerkin Singer & songwriter;
  • and award-winning celebrity baker Graham “The cupcake Bloke” Herterich

After the talk, stick around for a live Q&A, another pint, and the chance to meet like-minded people.

What began as a simple idea has grown into Dublin's home for ideas, stories, and craic – a community built around curiosity, conversation, and the belief that the best discussions happen in the pub.

The Reytons

3Olympia

From topping the UK charts as a completely independent act to headlining major festivals and performing a capacity concert at the legendary Wembley Arena in 2025, The Reytons have defied every industry expectation.

Ardal O’Hanlon – Not Himself

Draiocht

Oh, it’s all there! All the trademarks are in evidence in Ardal’s latest show. Beautifully crafted stand-up comedy? Yes. Celebrated use of language? Tick. Lateral thinking, surreal flourishes, sharp observations? Of course. As for the occasional profundity? Maybe. Despite his best attempts over many decades to put the world to rights, it is still a colossal mess. And so, Ardal has no choice but to go out on the road again. Like the good comedy doctor he is, he fearlessly diagnoses the various pathologies and neuroses that are currently ravaging humanity. Disclaimer: No solutions provide
