“I'm about to flip this kip upside down and inside out”
When Chantelle and Craoí, two working class Dublin drama students, lock horns over The Plough and the Stars, their combined rage brings forth Queen Povo, a drag-drenched larger-than-life entity who forces the girlos and the audience to examine what they’re thinking about when they think of class.
From D'Girlos Theatre, this riotous, razor-sharp debut crashes through class, art, and authenticity with wit, grit, and glitter. A juicy-tracksuit clad call to arms for anyone who’s ever felt too loud, too real, or just too povo.
That’s Soo Povo was one of the hottest tickets at Dublin Fringe Festival 2025, selling out and receiving rave reviews. If you didn’t manage to get a ticket then – or if you did and you want to see it again – here’s your chance! |

Dates: Friday 24 April, 8PM
Tickets: €20/€18
Just outside of town, cobbler Pat Farnon lives on his own, contentedly aging in the cottage in which he was reared. Join him as he walks the five miles into his “metropolis,” populated with no-necked water diviners, sporting savants, loudmouths, and preachers. This multi-award-winning theatre show is a tribute to the beauty of a quiet, rural life, and has toured to sold-out audiences from London to New York.
Praise for The Man in the Woman’s Shoes “Astonishing...this is a high-top performance” – New York Times Critic’s Pick “A miniature masterpiece” – The Times, London “Extraordinary physical performance... sharp observational comedy” – The Sunday Times

Dublin comedian Willa White is taking Ireland by storm. After selling out the 3Olympia and the Gaiety, he’s coming home to Axis with his brand new stand-up show Dead Man Talking. Willa’s new show Dead Man Talking will see Willa explore his belief that he realistically should have been dead long before the family and friends who’ve gone before him, after attempting to take his own life in 1991. Dead Man Talking will see Willa reflect on memories of those who have passed, and the fun times they shared on this rollercoaster we call life. In all the best shows, you can’t tell if you’re laughing or crying. |
