Show to offer much laughter
Anne Gildea follows her phenomenally successful show, How To Get The Menopause & Enjoy It with Further Adventures in Womaning, and what an hilarious adventure it’s going to be.
It’s a laugh-a-second look at the changing world of Irish womanhood since the 70s. It’s about the women our mothers were, the girls we used to be, and the women we have become.
This popular show visits Nenagh Arts Centre on Saturday, March 22.
With her unique and seasoned comedy stylings Anne tells it like it is, like nobody else can. From 18-hour girdles and Housewives of The Year to twerky dancers and insta influencers, from The Sunday Drive to The Spa Break, via the chiffon scarf test, condom trains and much more, she weaves a startling and hilarious path through a tumultuous half century of womany stuff.

She started out in London in the late 1980s, going on to feature in many Irish TV comedy programmes. Also a published author, Anne’s last book, about her treatment for breast cancer, inspired the Irish feature film, The Bright Side which had a cinema release in 2021 and streamed on Prime.
