From being the 'Bombing Irish' of Mrs Thatcher's era, to a reviled ‘Plastic Paddy' back 'home' in Ireland, bestselling author Kate Kerrigan hilariously explores what it takes to finally fit into small town Ireland in her taboo-breaking one-woman show, Am I Irish Yet?
Born and raised in London, Kate moved to Ireland in the 1990s. 35-years on, with a family and career rooted in Ireland, Kate brings the wisdom and wit of her award-winning writing to audiences, in person for the first time, to ask: ‘Am I Irish Yet?’.
Exploring identity, culture, exile, Am I Irish Yet? is a fabulously funny, bittersweet journey into the dreams and disasters of every second-generation Irish kid who grew up calling somewhere else 'home'.
‘Brilliant. So well-crafted, a most accomplished performer. Funny, honest and poignant. The audience loved it’, Mary Kenny, The Irish Post.
