The Really Useless Group to Present THE REALLY USELESS CABARET in February

The Really Useless Group will introduce a brand spanking new set of bangers about current issues such as White Van Man (about catcalling), Very Truthful List (about conspiracy theories) and Gaydar (not being able to tell a guitarist from a left-handed lesbian) and many more at the Really Useless Cabaret 25th February 2023 and 26th February 2023 at The Glitch.

Expect to be taken on a journey by a queer wannabe comedy singer/songwriter who is currently very unsure and insecure about everything. Come along to laugh, sing and grow with her.

Themes: musical comedy, queerness, LGBTQIA+, self-doubt, singer/songwriter, women's voices

"I have dreamt of performing muscial comedy ever since I saw the group Bliss perform at a comedy festival in my home country. I tweeted about the idea and got lots of responses. That's how we formed our collective, and my dream came true." - Leoni Amandin

"It is such an honour to work with such talented creatives, and we couldn't be more excited to be performing at VAULT Festival this year!" - Sinead Hegarty

ABOUT THE REALLY USELESS GROUP

The Really Useless Group is a collective of passionate, international creatives. We devised our show making use of our diverse skillset, including musical theatre, multiple instruments, puppetry, clowning and various languages. After a very successful scratch performance at The Cockpit theatre where we received heaps of constructive feedback we are excited for our first festival attendance.
