Taking place in venues around the city until Saturday, the multimedia festival is likely to offer something for everyone.

It would be impossible to get through the whole range of events - the festival’s website offers an in-depth programme, broken down by category - but here are five potential highlights:

1. Musical comedian David O’Doherty is working on his latest show, and is hosting a preview tomorrow evening (9th July) in Smock Alley theatre. Since it’s a work in progress, tickets are only a tenner.

2. Enda Walsh’s popular Cork-set play Disco Pigs is getting a fresh staging as part of the fest. The folks at Pillowtalk Theatre Company are responsible for the latest production of the cult hit (possibly best known through Kirsten Sheridan’s film adaptation). It’s also at Smock Alley (tickets €8-€10), and there are nightly performances until the end of the festival.

3. Four Men and a Baby shows four comedians, all in their early to mid-twenties, riffing on the trials and tribulations of being a young(ish) lad in modern Ireland. It’s on all week in the The Ha'Penny Bridge Inn, and entry is generously on a ‘pay what you want’ basis.

4. There are several visual art exhibitions being held around the city. Some that are particularly worth checking out are Shane Gavin’s Pixelheads (portraits in the style of 8-bit video games) in the Twisted Pepper and Louise O’Brien’s The Capital (a photographic exploration of the transition from 35mm to digital cinema) in the Bleeding Horse. Most of the exhibitions are running throughout the week.

5. There are a number of bands performing over the week, but one of the more unusual musical events The Motown Sound Reworked in The Grand Social on Wednesday. The night will see six Irish bands playing their own distinct interpretations of a trio of Motown classics. Entry is a fiver.
