Overview

***** A DOUBLE BILL OF AWARD WINNING IRISH SOLO SHOWS *****
FRIGID
Niamh O’Reilly is still a ‘fridget’ – she’s never been kissed – and at 14, she’d want to hurry up.

Tonight at the local teenage disco, her friends are on a mission to change that – whether she wants to or not. Set in Dublin in 2007, Niamh takes you on her journey through the “innocence and discovery and fun – and mortification and terror” (★★★★, Irish Times) of Irish adolescence.

Written and performed by Rosa Bowden with live DJ Ciarán Gallagher and directed by Hildegard Ryan (Mustard, Chicken).

Frigid won the Bewley’s Little Gem Award at the Dublin Fringe Festival 2022 and had a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2023 with sell-out performances. Now it comes to London for one night only at the Union Theatre. Don’t miss out on this coming of age comedy about frenemies, first times and figuring it out.

PLUS (n)ONE

One man, one wedding too many, on a hilarious search for connection in a world of plus-ones.

Mark used to love weddings. Free food, open bars, and a reason to see friends & dance after you turn 30. But after one too many of his straight friends tie the knot over a summer, this single queer man realises he’s no longer a guest—he’s a recurring character in everyone else’s love story.

Determined not to face another seating plan alone, Mark reluctantly re-enters the modern dating scene. Between disastrous dates, well-meaning friends, and the creeping fear that everyone he loves is moving on without him, he’s forced to ask the big questions: who is he, what does he really want, and why is finding it so complicated.

“Cushen is a brilliantly likeable performer, his personable, naturally comedic energy, immediately getting the audience on side”

(**** RatedReviewed)

Written & performed by Daragh Cushen, and directed by Rosa Bowden, Plus (n)One returns to the Union for two nights this November.
