BY JOE WALSH

TUESDAY 26th AUGUST

Meet Joe. A struggling party entertainer with crippling bills, one star google reviews and a deadly hangover.
​
A last minute booking in Cheshire (bit of money round there) could be the game changer. He's off the bench and ready to replace Olaf the snowman. Things are looking up. But a mystery guest suddenly means he's face to face with his wince worthy teenage past.
​
Can he pull off the ultimate eighth birthday party even if the kid is just a little gobshite in a tiara?
​
A brand new play about the way you expect your life to pan out, and how it actually does.
​
Its Flora's birthday party, and you're all invited.
