Mary Bourke’s engaging stand-up comedy show follows the mantra “a fun look at feminism”.

Muffragette is an intelligent blend of light-hearted gags and thought-provoking social commentary.

This well-balanced comedy act, warmly received in the quaintly quirky venue of The Blue Man on Queen’s Road, touches on some very relevant gender issues. These include comments on a range of contemporary debates about body image, pornography and social media, all the while delivering a constant supply of chuckles and belly-laughs.

Sound bites, family anecdotes and celebrity impressions are all squeezed into Bourke’s witty one-hour performance. This accessible show is simultaneously both a brilliant introduction to some important issues, and an undoubtedly enjoyable evening for even the most veteran of feminists.

This refreshingly friendly feminist stand-up gig is an all-round crowd-pleaser; boredom most definitely will not ensue in the confident hands of the charming Mary Bourke.
