For a night of music, laughs and – if you think you're tough enough – a look inside the mind of Love/Hate hard men, head along to the Odessa Club in Dublin next Thursday night for the latest instalment of Culture Vultures.

These engaging monthly salon-themed cultural nights include music, spoken word, performance and comedy and are curated by journalist Tony Clayton-Lea, who holds a public interview at each event. This month it will be with Irish playwright and creator of Love/Hate, Stuart Carolan (above). Music will be by singer-songwriter Cathy Davey and the laughs will come courtesy of comedian and Irish Mammies creator Colm O'Regan. Culture Vultures, November 13th, at 8pm. Tickets €10, entertainment.ie
