About Katie Boyle
Katie Boyle brings her new show Irish Immigrant to O'Neill's (The Tron) for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This dark, whimsical and personal show explores being an immigrant and having your identity always questioned at home and abroad. It weaves in stories about Irish history, folklore, mental health and naturalisation in the States. Boyle explores what it means to be too British to stop apologising and too Irish to stop fighting — navigating identity across continents with wit, candour and sharp storytelling.
Why see this show?
Dark, whimsical and genuinely personal, this show finds rich comedy in the disorientation of belonging nowhere quite fully. Boyle handles Irish history, folklore and mental health with a light touch that keeps things funny even when they're painful.
