Pretty much during the entire movie/story. We almost constantly know something that one of the characters didn't. When Oedipus didn't know that he was the son.
Jocasta finds out Oedipus is her son and flips out because he doesn't know but shes figuring it all out and she doesn't want anyone to find out because then that will mess up everything
The dramatic irony is all throughout this play because we know whats happening before the characters figure it out. Like when Jocasta and Oedipus are talking about the prophecies and we already know Oedipus is the fulfiller of the prophecy.
