The Irish wake is the ultimate celebration of life. Acclaimed Irish theatre company THISISPOPBABY presents the exuberant and explosive WAKE.

This joyous piece of event theatre has been described as “Riverdance for Club Queens”(The Irish Times) and “The best show in town” (The Arts Review).

WAKE reimagines the ingredients of an Irish wake — gathering, keening, trad music, Irish tap, storytelling and party pieces — and adds some beats and glitter to showcase the very best of Irish cabaret, music, dance, circus and spoken-word talent.

After two hugely successful runs in Dublin, this profound, ridiculous, camp spectacle is going global.
