About Louisa Ní Éideáin
Dopa-Mean Girl is a cabaret-style comedy show written and performed by Louisa Ní Éideáin, at Just Up the Road. The show takes audiences into the mind of a woman with recently discovered ADHD, recreating the polyphony of a brain that must do at least two things at all times. It asks whether past ruinous choices were down to ADHD or simply a millennial making excuses, and follows the search for the elusive dopamine hit. Performed in English with a sprinkle of Gaeilge, it runs for 60 minutes and is recommended for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
An unusually honest and funny show that gets inside the lived experience of ADHD without simplifying it. Louisa Ní Éideáin combines cabaret and comedy to find the chaos and the creativity in equal measure.
