Get ready to RIOT with this thrilling, uplifting and unforgettable night out! A disorderly cocktail of party and politics from Ireland’s greatest artistic hooligans, RIOT combines dance, drag, circus, gut-punching spoken word and comedy into one wild ride.

RIOT took the Dublin Fringe by storm in 2016, winning the award for Best Production, and has become unstoppable ever since. It’s a love letter of hope to the future, a divine celebration, an energetic spectacle, and a blunt criticism of the world today.

Uniting the hottest stars of Irish stage and screen in this glittering roulette of the brilliant, brazen and downright bizarre, the all-star cast includes Queen of Ireland Panti Bliss, Megan Riordan (star of Once – The Musical), circus superstars Lords of Strut (Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalists), and a special guest performer each night.

RIOT will run throughout the festival in the historic Joey and Toby Tanenbaum Opera Centre, transformed by Luminato into the festival Cabaret Room with its promise of a fun-filled atmosphere and great shows. Flashy, trashy, and fused with social commentary, RIOT is a must-see event for your 2018 social calendar.
