The hit comedy show for every Irish kid who grew up with an English accent Starring New York Times bestselling author Kate Kerrigan.

Following sell-out shows, 'Am I Irish Yet?', produced by BAFTA award-winning Kevin Toolis, has struck a chord with audiences, shining a light on what it means to be caught between two cultures. As Kate Kerrigan, puts it:

"On St Patrick’s Day, the whole world wants to be Irish. But if you’re born Irish in the UK and speak with an English accent, it’s a bit tricky. You sit somewhere in between both places, belonging to neither.”

'Am I Irish Yet?' explores being second generation Irish, caught between two colliding worlds. ‘We were the ultimate inbetweeners. As IRA bombs went off in England, we were being teased back in Ireland for our English accents. We were Irish but part of us was English, too. We spoke with Brummie or Mancunian accents. Loved punk, curries, Northern Soul, even though we never stood up for the national anthem,’ says Kate,

‘Identity is tricky. That’s why I wrote my one - woman comedy show about what’s it’s like for any kid to grow up somewhere speaking in the wrong accent and calling somewhere else Home.'

BAFTA-winning 'Am I Irish Yet?' producer, Kevin Toolis, said: ’We’ve been amazed at the response. We ’ ve sold out show after show. People are saying it’s the first time anyone has ever told their story. Turns out there’s a whole lost tribe of Second Generation Irish who at last are trying to find their own voice and define their Irishness for themselves. And this isn’t just an Irish story but the story of every immigrant struggling to fit in.’
