Self-deprecating, introspective and whip-smart, Catherine Bohart delves into her ‘needless worries’ in Borrowing Trouble. Bohart discusses moving in with her girlfriend for the first time and mental health in this powerhouse house hour from Irish comedy favourite (Fri 16 Oct). Dan Tiernan has hit rock-bottom in Quartz and All, and what better way to cope that to turn to the world of crystal healing? This “brilliant, blistering, eardrum-drum battering” (Daily Telegraph) sees Tiernan armed with rose quartz and sage as he discusses sexuality and mental health in an uproarious hour of stand-up (Fri 23 Oct). Over at the Concert Hall, internationally acclaimed comedian and filmmaker Simon Amstell presents an hour of reflection, dissection, and the psychology of indulging in a celebrity crush in I Love it Here (Thu 22 Oct).
