Get Blessed!

@niamhdenyer graces #EdFringe2023 with a sparkling debut, delivering belly-laughs & entrepreneurial enlightenment in one immersive package…

Portraying the charismatic Áine Reilly, an Irish celebrant with a talent for turning rituals into revenue, Denyer masterfully morphs tradition into transaction. We're taken on a ride through rites, from naming ceremonies to weddings, with a focus on funerals that are more fab than drab 🎉💀…

This show is a masterclass in cynical moneymaking (à la Ryanair with a twist of divine inspiration). From upselling eulogies to turning every ceremony into a cash cow, Áine's mantra is clear: when life gives you rituals, milk them for money! 💸🥛

Denyer's character commitment is simply astounding. With superb audience participation, she steers roleplays, brainstorms and even arts & crafts with deft expertise. Unexpected audience interactions become comedic gems, effortlessly woven into the tapestry of this immersive play/stand up/performance art…

While the overall punchline doesn’t develop much beyond the premise, the joke never wears thin, as Denyer finds endless iterations to keep you chuckling 🤭 …

Fans of Denyer's @instagram sketches will adore this extension of her comedic genius, but newcomers will equally find joy in her natural, believable execution. The result? A character so real, you'll want to book her for your next big event. 4/5
