Butter

Google Richy Sheehy / Free FestivalAbout the show
Richy Sheehy hated Cork's Butter Museum. So he made a bet with his butter-museum-obsessed friend: he could deliver a better, butterier experience in a comedy show. The result is petty stand-up with songs, butter and fermented grievance. Presented at the Cinema Room as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, it is a show built from a single personal grudge taken to its most absurd comedic conclusion.
Why see this show?
There is something genuinely entertaining about a show born entirely from petty spite. Richy Sheehy has channelled his resentment of one very specific museum into stand-up with songs — and the sheer commitment to the premise is half the joke.
