An Evening With Wee Daniel at Draiocht Blanchardstown

  • Draiocht Blanchardstown Road South Dublin 15 Ireland (map)

Aoife grew up in a tiny corner of Northwest Ireland … a place that also happened to give us the country's favourite inoffensive entertainment icon, Daniel O'Donnell. Join this unlikely duo as they journey through rural queerness, community and grief, banding together to celebrate the place they both call home. With original songs and Aoife’s unique flavour of feral cabaret joy, this is a heartfelt love letter to the people that made us who we are.

Winner of the inaugural Theatre Lovett award and nominated for Bewleys Little Gem Award at Dublin Fringe Festival 2024.
