There's a sort of mini-comedy festival contained within the Dublin Fringe and if you only see one of the shows, make sure it's David O'Doherty's excellent The Story Of The Boy Who Saved Comedy which is at Bewley's Cafe Theatre from next Monday to Saturday. A well-told tale about a boy looking for new jokes, it deservedly got nominated for a Perrier newcomer award at this year's Edinburgh Fringe. Elsewhere, Brendan Burke's One Night In Baghdad is at the Castle Inn on Lord Edward Street from next Tuesday to Saturday, while the RTE Comedy Awards (a talent search competition) take place at Vicar Street next Tuesday with a guest spot from Ed Byrne. Bookings for all shows at the Fringe Office, tel: 1850 374643.
