For many, the words "one-woman show" brings to mind that Friends episode. You know the one. With the furious actress yelling at the audience "CHAPTER ONE - MY FIRST PERIOD." I've personally always liked the idea of a one-woman show though and c21 Theatre's 'It Only Takes a Minute' promised...
Listening to so many podcasts and audiobooks nowadays means I've really had to start making a point of setting time aside for music. I've written before about how each year I have a playlist that I update with songs I've discovered throughout the year - a sort of soundtrack...
The Nun, the latest spin-off in The Conjuring universe, was released at the start of September. Focused on the origin story of the demon nun Valak (The Conjuring 2), I had my reservations when it was first announced. The horror genre is a pretty barren wasteland when it comes to...
It's an exciting time to be in Northern Ireland. New restaurants, cafes, hotels and even theatre companies are opening up everyday, enriching the country for tourists and locals alike. Marble Productions is the latest addition to Northern Irish theatre, founded by Cathy Ievers and Ellen Colliers, two young women passionate...

In case the title didn't give it away, this post concerns a topic very close to my heart - NOODLES. The latest addition to the Ormeau Road's eclectic selection of eating establishments is Bia Rebel, Northern Ireland's first ramen noodle shop. I'll be honest, I'm not particularly refined in my...
Back in January I was reading through Vulture's list of 2018 podcasts. I came across "West Cork" - an Audible original series, and was immediately intrigued. One problem though, I had to wait until February to listen to it. West Cork delves into the past and investigates the murder of...
Oh, hey, hi, remember me? I took a bit of an unintentional hiatus there, whoops. Between the dark nights, getting the flu and generally feeling like I couldn't step foot outside due to snow warnings, about 80% of my free time in January is a big blur of Netflix and...
