Hollywood actress Rosie O'Donnell to make comedy debut on Dublin stage
Ms O'Donnell has been in films such as Sleepless in Seattle, A League of Their Own and The Flintstones. She has also had her own talk show, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, and has appeared in the likes of HBOs Curb Your Enthusiasm and Netflix's Russian Doll. Now, the 62-year-old is performing at a number of Dublin venues this week including the Craic Den Comedy Club in Workman's, The Comedy Cellar at the International Bar, and In Stitches Comedy in Peadar Kearney's pub. She is preparing material ahead of her performance at Edinburgh Fringe Festival later this summer. According to the Craic Den Comedy Club, 'Rosie is a rockstar comedian with a stand-up career spanning four decades.' Ms O'Donnell took to Instagram to say: 'Tuesday and Wednesday nights this week, I will be trying out some new stand up as I prepare for Edinburgh Fringe Festival - come by and say hello.'

Please review your details and accept them to load the content Ms O'Donnell moved to Dublin from the US with her 12-year-old child, Clay, who has autism. She is in the process of getting Irish citizenship as she has Irish grandparents. Last month, they took part in AsIAm's Same Chance Walk for autism in Malahide Castle. She told the event's official ambassador, TikTok star Eric Roberts, how Clay was diagnosed as autistic at two years old. 'We need a lot of help and attention, but we're getting there. I think that AsIAm is a wonderful organisation, and I'm proud to be associated with it,' she said. She also told Mr Roberts that she wants to spend the rest of her 'notoriety' helping families who have a loved one with autism. Ms O'Donnell has also attracted headlines since moving to Ireland, largely due to comments from US President Donald Trump. She has been a long-time critic of the US President. When Taoiseach Micheál Martin visited Mr Trump ahead of St Patrick's Day, a reporter asked about Ms O'Donnell's move to Ireland in the Oval Office. Mr Trump responded: 'Do you know who she is? You're better off not knowing.'

Lucinda O'Sullivan's restaurant review: Is chef Angelo Vagiotis on track for a Michelin star with the exquisite Pullman?
Having caught them by surprise on her previous visit, our critic goes back aboard the Pullman carriages at the five-star Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate Whirling up to the magnificent five-star Glenlo Abbey Hotel in Galway last September while on my own Poirot mission as a judge/hotel inspector for the Gold Medal Awards, I didn't quite discover a murder on the Orient Express in the Pullman carriages of their eponymous restaurant, but I did unearth one of the best-kept culinary secrets of 2024. 'How did she know I was here? I'm not ready for her,' chef Angelo Vagiotis, was reported to have said. Truth was, I didn't know he was there, I just got lucky, scooping the story of the new journey he was embarking upon — a journey that would take place in the two historic train carriages that were once indeed part of the original Orient Express travelling the rails of Europe in the early 20th century.
