RIOT is both party and politic: a love letter of hope to the future, a celebration of Ireland and  a clarion call on the state of the world. The all-star cast features Queen of Ireland Panti, Emmet Kirwan, (Dublin Oldschool, Accents), Up & Over It,  Lords of Strut, Alma Kelliher (Lux Alma, WAKE), Nicky Lewis and Adam Matthews (Phoeno, WAKE), with frocks by James McGlynn Seaver, and set design by internationally renowned artist Niall Sweeney.

A night of wild theatre and sizzling hot circus, RIOT has entered the history books as one of the most influential theatre events of recent decades and is back once again to lift your spirits, fill your heart and send you into the night inspired, replenished and ready for revolution.

Winner of Best Production at the 2016 Dublin Fringe Festival when the show first premiered, collector of accolades and rave reviews from all around the globe, and subject matter of multiple books, essays and academic theses: this legendary show steeped in comedic acrobatics, and heart-breaking monologue,is now more poignant and important than ever right now.

Tayto crisps, Panti Bliss, Roscommon GAA, radical Irish dancing, spoken word by Emmet Kirwan, outrageous circus, and of course the iconic surprise nightly guest slot all feature in this jaw-dropping live show for four nights only this summer at Dublin’s Vicar Street.
