Madison Cawley: The Maddie Show - The Everyman Cork
At The Everyman · 15 MacCurtain Street, Cork City, Co. Cork
At The Everyman · 15 MacCurtain Street, Cork City, Co. Cork
Madison Cawley brings an expanded production of The Maddie Show to The Everyman on MacCurtain Street for one night, billed as a glamorous drag comedy show with a dress code of glitz and glamour encouraged for anyone attending. The Everyman’s own listing frames the evening simply as an invitation to “sit down with a glass of bubbly and enjoy Maddie live on stage,” suggesting a variety-style cabaret night built around Cawley’s stage persona rather than a straight stand-up set.
The show carries a 15A age recommendation and content warnings for strong language, adult-themed material, onstage smoke effects and strobe lighting, indicating a fuller production with staging and lighting effects rather than a bare stand-up format. Running time is to be confirmed but the show includes an interval, in keeping with the expanded, theatre-scale production the venue is promoting compared with a typical club night.
The Everyman is Cork’s main mid-sized theatre on MacCurtain Street and regularly programmes drag and cabaret comedy alongside straight stand-up and drama through its autumn season, with this show forming part of that October slate.
Billing it as an “expanded production” suggests a bigger staging than a typical club drag night, with the venue’s warnings about onstage smoke effects and strobe lighting pointing to a full theatrical production rather than a bare-stage set. The encouraged glamorous dress code and the invitation to bring a glass of bubbly frame the evening as an occasion night out as much as a comedy show, in keeping with how The Everyman markets its bigger one-off cabaret and drag bookings through the year.
The Everyman is on MacCurtain Street on the north side of Cork city centre, a short walk from Kent Station and well served by Cork City bus routes, in the middle of the MacCurtain Street bar and restaurant strip.
