I am SO excited to be bringing a new sketch show on climate action to Droichead Arts Centre! It's not often I get to marry my two loves (acting and activism!) together so I can't wait for this. The rehearsal process has been so much fun.
Whether you're a seasoned activist or prefer to stick your head in the sand because it's all a bit too much, you're bound to get something from this cathartic comedic chaos.
Tickets are just €5 and the show is on January 30th at 8pm with a Q&A afterwards https://droicheadartscentre.ticketsolve.com/.../873668805
Thank you to Droichead Arts Centre for supporting this work in progress <3 Co created with Anthony Kinahan & Chris Moran 🎭
Did you know it's illegal to trap wild hares in Ireland...UNLESS they are being used for hare coursing? This bloodsport has been banned in all bar THREE European Union countries, one of which is Ireland - a country that supposedly reveres hares in our mythology & folklore. Over 5,000 hares are trapped every year, many dying and all being subject to abuse. There's almost 80 hare coursing groups on the island. Admist a biodiversity crisis, this shouldn't continue, and morally, it should never have started.
The National Animal Rights Association in Ireland has helped in successfully banning fur farming on this Ireland, now they're working on banning hare coursing. A bill is going to be proposed in the Dáil, we need you to ask your TDs to support this bill. For more information and how to help, visit https://www.naracampaigns.org/hare-coursing/

Well hello there! In very EXCITING NEWS, this Saturday I'll be hosting another Artivism event with these wonderful people. thanks to Global Green at Electric Picnic. From the Civil Rights Movement unofficial anthem 'We Shall Overcome,' to Banksy, to the film Don't Look Up, there's a million ways in which art can change minds. Delighted to be chatting to Anthony Kinahan, Mel white, Rachel Dempsey of Full Circle Change and poet Feefs, on how they're experienced their own art as activism, and to showcase a little bit of their work with us.
If you're at Electric Picnic, find us at Global Green at 2.40pm on Saturday!

Flossie finding Wax Strips...
Was not expecting this answer 😅 Can people please stop leaving their wax strips (and underwear!) on the beach?! 💀 Episode 59 with Flossie And The Beach Cleaners is out now. This was a good fun chat & Flossie is such a positive influence 💖
In Flossie's own words, all you need is a pair of gloves, a bag and a positive attitude to get started on cleaning! No one is too small to make a difference. And if you need a litter picker, Jiminy sell a foldable one made from recycled plastic 😻
