I Want To Speak To Your Manager (How I Was Radicalised And Became...Karen)

Holly Hughes
A woman in a red jacket raises a glass of white wine, outside a bar.

You’ve heard this woman in a café, loudly complaining her extra-hot-skinny latté isn’t hot enough. You’ve seen her in a restaurant, demanding dishes that aren’t on the menu.

You’ve met her in the ALDI car park, where her SUV takes up multiple spaces. 
The dreaded Karen. But could you - down-to-earth, sound, people-pleasing - become her? Holly did. And she’s ready to speak her truth. This is the story of one woman’s radicalisation to fighting for justice (i.e. refunds), one complaint email at a time. But, Holly wonders, with broligarch losers destroying the world, is being a Karen REALLY that bad?After all, what is so wrong about holding people accountable??

An internationally-acclaimed slam poet, Holly Hughes is bringing her first one woman show to Dublin Fringe Festival after a sell-out performance at Scene+ Heard. Expect hilarity, humiliation, and a healthy dose of female rage.

Developed at Dublin Fringe Festival Studios & Scene+Heard.
