Grand Slam Champion storyteller Mary Kate O Flanagan comes to the Watergate on 4 May with a storytelling workshop from 10am – 1.30pm.
Mary Kate returns to the Watergate on Friday 10 May with ‘Making a Show of Myself’. This show has earned standing ovations and stellar reviews, contains six of her award-winning true-life tales, woven together with insights into why storytelling is an essential part of being human.
In a nation where storytelling is the national past-time, Mary Kate O Flanagan laid claim to the title of Ireland’s Grand Slam Champion Storyteller at The Moth, at The Abbey Theatre in 2015. She has since won the title of Grand Slam Champion Storyteller at The Moth in Los Angeles and a Champion Storyteller at The Dublin StorySlam on several occasions. If you want a flavour of what to expect, you can hear one of her stories on The Moth Radio Hour here.
That story went viral on TikTok on Father’s Day 2023, gaining over 1.4 million views in two days and, maybe more notably, the comments section is entirely positive. It has been included in The Top Ten Stories on The Moth on PBS radio, as well as being named by many as their favourite Moth story ever.
