Description

Niamh O'Reilly is a Frigid, meaning she's never been kissed. And at 14, she'd want to hurry. Tonight at the local teenage disco, her friends are on a mission to change that – whether she wants to or not. Set in Dublin in 2007, it's a coming-of-age comedy about frenemies, first times and figuring it out. Winner of the Bewley's Little Gem Award at Dublin Fringe Festival 2022. Written and performed by Rosa Bowden with live DJ Ciarán Gallagher. 'An amazing comedy, with heart wrenching and tender moments' ***** (TheReviewsHub.com).

Absolutely unbelievably written and performed by Rosa Bowden - and there's a DJ: a live DJ in the form of Ciaran Gallagher, whose timing was impeccable, and tunes bop-worthy in my seat.
Underneath the hilarity, there is a strong message of being true to yourself no matter how heavy the weight of peer pressure.
If you ever resonated with feeling 'different' in a friend group, you will feel a instant bond with character Niamh O'Reilly and be cheering her to the very end.
Irreverent humour at its finest, Rosa is absolutely someone to watch!

I would highly recommend this show. Wonderfully acted, very well written. It took me back to some painful teenage memories, in hilarious fashion.

This show deserved a much bigger audience, if you're on the fence about seeing it, definitley go! Brilliant storytelling, brilliant character acting, well worth seeing.

I didn’t realise that I remembered my teenage years as well as I do until I assert this piece. I felt young again with all the angst and pain that goes with the early teen years. Performed beautifully and I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Frigid is easily the funniest show I’ve seen at this year’s Fringe and should be seen by anyone who loves comedy, Irish accents, and/or Rihanna’s third album.
