Join us during the 2026 Ballina Salmon Festival - Mayo for a night of brilliant theatre.

Am I Irish Yet? is one-woman show chronicling the life of Kate Kerrigan, a New York Times bestselling author who began her career as an editor for Just Seventeen magazine (where she was credited for discovering the band Take That). After spending her childhood in London in the 80s as the ‘Bombing Irish’ to some and a ‘Plastic Paddy’ to others, she moved to her parent’s native Ireland in the 90s where she became a full-time author.

35 years on, with an Irish husband and children and a career as an Irish author, Kate brings the wisdom and wit of her award-winning writing to audiences in person for the first time, to whom she asks, ‘Am I Irish Yet?’.

Sunday 19th July at 8pm. Tickets: €20 (+booking fee)
