“For the Love of Milseáin” is the bilingual comedy show that promises to tickle the Irish out of you, even if you don’t know a word.
“Promotes the Irish language in a fresh way” The Irish Times
Audiences can expect a wholly unique experience as Áine, “the queen of offbeat”, uses her “divinely awkward” style of comedy to create a really fun experience, that offers a new, exciting approach to speaking and learning Irish.
Áine’s charm is born from the fact that her Irish is not perfect. It has taken her years, along with countless embarrassing situations to become a confident speaker. Throughout the show, Áine masterfully weaves bilingual storytelling with her quirky, deadpan humour to navigate mistake making, mug cake baking and her obsession with Lionel Richie to inspire a nation to let go of their fears and speak Irish in, “For the Love of Milseain”.
“Reminds me of Maria Bamford and Kevin McAleer, so so funny” Jarlath Regan
This show is perfect for festivals, especially those with a focus on heritage, culture and language learning. Similarly, it can be performed for school groups or other groups with an interest in learning Irish, such as teachers in training. It is suitable for corporate companies with an interest in promoting the Irish language or to simply create a fun experience for their staff. Áine, naturally, has performed it in someone’s house before too for a birthday party. Hence, it can fit wherever there is an interest!
In simple terms, this is a fun 60 minute show that can be enjoyed by anyone, especially those who enjoy deadpan humour. It has travelled internationally and hence, a knowledge of the Irish language is not essential.
