Featured Performers

The Curtis Cabaret
The Curtis Cabaret brings together artists from diverse backgrounds to share in a night of music and storytelling. With the aim of creating a safe space for both the audience and the performers to express themselves authentically and freely, The Curtis Cabaret is rooted in collaboration, community, inclusivity and authenticity.

Each performer gets an opportunity to use the stage to express a part of themselves they mightn’t always get to express in their chosen field, supported by the most talented live band. You might resonate with a performer's storytelling or learn something new about another lifestyle.

For the audience, it’s an opportunity to be in an inclusive space, connecting with others through the stories told on stage, singing and dancing along, and forgetting about the outside world for a little bit of time.

Aoife Dunne

Aoife is one of Ireland’s most exciting new comedic voices blending stand-up, spoken word and storytelling with emotional honesty, biting wit, and serious stage presence. Her comeback story is compelling: after a 15-year hiatus following the death of her mother, she returned to the stage with her acclaimed show, Good Grief. Having sold out her debut tour, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and the Galway Arts Festival, she’s gearing up to captivate audiences once again in 2026 with a run of Irish shows, including the Olympia Theatre, and more locations on the way.

In addition to her stage success, Aoife has cultivated a dedicated online following of over 160,000 across Instagram and TikTok. Her viral comedy sketches and character reels have resonated with audiences for their sharp observations on Irish identity, womanhood, and reinvention. She also facilitates storytelling workshops that help others reclaim their voices through creative expression.

The Misses

Active on the Irish drag scene for nearly a decade, they’ll bring a vibrant mix of wit, warmth, and high-energy performance to the event.

Sarah Clancy
A poet and community worker from Galway who has recently returned from the Flotilla to Gaza. Known for her warm wit, her work often engages with social justice alongside themes of love, nature, and everyday humanity. She will share a selection of her poetry on the night.

An activist, celebrant, and member of the Land Flotilla team and is also known as The Bald Priestess. She founded Entheos, an inclusive spiritual organisation that supports people outside traditional institutions with personalised, meaningful ceremonies. Karen will lead a guided moment of reflection for those in Palestine and remind us why we’re all there.

Voices for Palestine offers audiences the chance to enjoy a festive evening while contributing to meaningful on the ground support. The event blends creativity with collective action, reminding attendees that solidarity can be joyful as well as powerful.

DJ Jules
