Cork Fringe Festival launched its programme with a gathering at the Bodega on Tuesday evening. The second incarnation of the festival will take place from May 8-10, and promises more than 50 performances across 15 venues.

“Cork Fringe once again promises to be a festival of play, laughter, joy, and outrage as it celebrates brave, weird, and independent art!” stated festival directors Daniel Cremin and Ineke Lavers.
