Support Aoife Sweeney O'Connor's debut show!

Aoife Sweeney O'Connor has a Donegal dream!

Ah hello there. It's me, wee Aoife. I am debuting my first one-person comedy cabaret show this September in Dublin and I need your help. This show is my love letter to the rural non-binary experience, to mammies and to Donegal's finest export; Daniel O'Donnell.

I'm queering the culchie experience and creating a space for people to go all kinds of gleefully feral, as they hoot and holler along! After almost 10 years of making and doing, this is my first solo show. I can't wait to share it with you!

What is the show about?

This show is an autobiographical one-person comedy cabaret performance about being a queer non-binary person, growing up in Donegal and being utterly obsessed with a certain wee Donegal icon.

This is a real-life story, an absurdist autobiographical tale infused with queer joy, and the culmination of Aoife’s showbiz journey to date as comedian, cabaret artist, wannabe culchie and Donegal enthusiast. Aoife’s unique flavour of performance centres around fun, silliness and something dazzlingly feral. It's a show for old ladies and young theydies and everyone else in between.

Watch this space as more will be revealed about the show in the coming months!
