Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
A Hilarious Guide to ‘Millennial Grief’
It’s great
to take a gap year. Figure yourself out. How about four of
them? Niamh O’Keeffe did just that. NZ Fringe Festival
2019 “Pick of the Fringe” show, Gap Yearz, has
returned to BATS Theatre as The Ned Niamh Show, 1- 5
October. With a shiny new title and Drag King alter ego
added, audiences will be tossed into a backpack to explore
exotic lands as this Irish/Australian duo try to find their
place in it all.
Wanderlust has led Niamh O’Keeffe
and her other half Ned Gaylick to many different parts of
the world. Trying to find purpose in life can be a full time
job, from becoming enlightened with laughter yoga in
Thailand to teaching three year olds to swim on Waiheke
Island. Travel takes you from the mundane to the
existential. Who are we? And as Millennials how do we clean
up the mess of this world one abuser at a time, one
processed chicken nugget at a time, one trend, one meme, one
climate change disaster at a time? Cue a feminist cabaret
where one performer does it all!
The Ned Niamh
Show is a hilarious, queer, all singing, all dancing, all
stripping attempt at answering "Millennial Grief" - the
existential crisis of a generation. My contain vibrators and
a vegan who eats tuna.
Niamh is a performer based
in Aotearoa, originally from over the ditch. She came to NZ
on her 4th gap year and stayed. The Ned Niamh Show runs for
five nights only from Tuesday 1st to Saturday 5th October,
8pm at BATS Theatre, 1 Kent Tce. It is written by and
starring Niamh O’Keeffe. Tickets are $15-$20 and are
available through bats.co.nz.
