Description

Honey, you’ve got a big storm coming.

For your safety, please follow this pair of prancing poofs to SHAME SHOW, a sketchy comedy of catastrophic proportions from SkelpieLimmer, the creators of Scaredy Fat and Two Fingers Up.

Adam and Stevie are stuck inside. Storm Seamus is about to strike. The rural fixer-upper they’ve inherited can’t hack it – and neither can their relationship. But through the static of Aunt Mary’s old TV comes an offer of salvation asking

Have you been mis-sold big gay shame?

Wouldn’t it all be better in a different, sunnier, more progressive place?

Will Northern Ireland ever progress if all the progressives leave?

Is there really no place like home?

Channel-hopping their way through programmes of poofy-past, the couple confront home, happiness and heteronormativity as they battle the storm and each other’s beliefs.

A worthy First Fortnight Award winner at Dublin Fringe 2024, Colm McCready & Fergus Wachala-Kelly’s hugely entertaining and poignant SHAME SHOW disempowers the negativity that shaped us and the fear we’ve been force-fed, shaking off the shackles of shame for the climb ahead.

Developed at MAKE, HATCH at The MAC Belfast, and Incubate at Tinderbox Theatre Company.

Age suitability: 16+

Duration: 60 mins
