Áine Gallagher: For the Love of Milseáin

Smock Alley Theatre, Friday 28th March

Award winning comedian and Ireland's “queen of the offbeat” Áine Gallagher, is on a mission to prove that speaking Irish can be both accessible and hilarious.

Following an incredible year where 2024 saw Áine embark on a national sell out tour and be listed among the Irish Times 50 People to Watch, Áine is back using her quirky and deadpan style as her secret weapon as she navigates Irish language learning, mistake-making, dating and mug-cake-baking to create a wholly unique comedy experience. A comedy experience that is bilingual and that guarantees to reignite your grá for the language and unlock your cúpla focal, even if you don’t know a word.

Known as Ireland’s only guerrilla Irish language enthusiast, Áine has been travelling the length and the breadth of the country with her Cup of Focals (a literal cup brimming with Irish words). Understanding the nation’s widespread fear of engaging in the Irish language, Áine mostly jumps out at people from behind trees, hoping to surprise them into chatting Irish with her.

However, in “FOR THE LOVE OF MILSEÁIN“, audiences can sit back, feel inspired and enjoy Áine’s tales, like when she met our president Michael D Higgins and other similar disasters in her own journey to learn Irish.

With her deadpan, offbeat and wholly unique style, there is no doubt Áine will ignite your passion for Irish, even if you don’t know a word.
