Eleanor Tiernan: An Awkward Age

An evening with the acerbic wit of comedian and writer Eleanor Tiernan

The world has changed a lot since Eleanor Tiernan was doing fake court reports on RTE's Irish Pictorial Weekly. 

Back then, contactless was just someone who wore glasses. Trump was a good card to have in a game of 25. And musk was an old school flavour of aftershave. We have a whole new set of problems now. Conspiracy theories! Technological imaginaries! 

In this show, Eleanor takes on topics as Cats, Phones, Ryanair middle seats, dead legs, Irish Privilege. Join her as she takes a jaunt around this brave new world we have created and wonders if she (and humanity) is just at an awkward age.
