Geneva Literary Aid Society proudly presents:




Biddy O’Loughlin
The Girl Who Thought She Was Irish

Venue: The Aula, Collège des Coudriers,
15a Avenue Joli Mont, Geneva


When: Wednesday, May 9, 2012 - 19.30PM


Biddy O’Loughlin is a great new comic talent from Australia. This will be her last show in Europe before she returns to her native land and the charms of Alice Springs. She wrote her first play when she was seventeen. Biddy started to make a name for herself on the international comedy scene just two years ago and she featured as an outstanding newcomer at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival with her debut solo show, "The Girl Who Thought She was Irish". She performs it one last time in Geneva.






FROM THE REVIEWS:

“A charmingly dark debut from Biddy O’Loughlin. She tells and sings the story of a girl who grew up in the middle of the desert, thinking she was Irish, who then set out to discover Ireland for herself.” - FRINGE GUIDE


“She's young, she's funny, she's beautiful, she sings her own sweet songs to her own guitar, she talks dirty on occasions and she delivers a mean bit of Irish step-dancing.....There's an important theme here, about the national identity of those who make their lives in one place while clinging to the idea that they belong to another.” – THE SCOTSMAN
