Culture 5 - your cultural highlights for the next seven days

LIVE: Clubbing is back!

Seriously - the nation's nightclubs are officially back in action this weekend - find a dancefloor near you, show your support, behave responsibly and - above all else - have a blast.

TV: Curb Your Enthusiasm

Some things never change... Larry David wrestles once more with the endless indignities of life in the 11th season of his painfully funny sitcom - watch out for appearances from Jon Hamm, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogen, Kaley Cuoco, Vince Vaughn, Seth Rogen, Woody Harrelson, Patton Oswalt and more.

MUSIC: What Then by David Keenan

The Dundalk troubadour follows his acclaimed debut album A Beginner's Guide To Bravery with What Then, a sophomore set of heartfelt show-stoppers, best listened to at a live venue near you soon (he's got an Irish tour lined up in December).

BOOK: Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan

Make no mistake, a new novel from the author of Antarctica, Walk the Blue Fields and Foster is a literary event, and Small Things Like These, her first book in 11 years, and only 97 pages long, serves as a vivid reminder that in this case, less is definitely more.

FILM: The French Dispatch

The latest film from writer/director Wes Anderson can perhaps best be described as perhaps the most Wes Anderson film imaginable, with an incredible cast that includes - deep breath - Benicio del Toro, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, Frances McDormand, Timothée Chalamet (also in cinemas this weekend in Dune), Jeffrey Wright, Mathieu Amalric, Bill Murray, Saoirse Ronan, Willem Defoe and Owen Wilson.
