What else does a young Black man have to say if it isn’t about racism? Too busy trying to be an adult, leaving Nigeria and settling in Ireland, he has to find a way to hold on to both worlds. With a story woven through prose and poetry, you will shift in your seat as you are teased with the discomfort of this immigrant settling into a new land. Take sides as loyalty to home is torn by the promise of the new. But the real question is, where do you buy a hot pepper in Lucan? Rising talent Samuel Yakura brings his acclaimed comedy show The Perfect Immigrant to Backstage this November. Writer & Performer: Samuel Yakura Director: Katie O'Halloran Production Manager: Emily Long Image: Emmanuel Okoye

It was a crazy year (2020) for us all and Wearegriot are excited to be sharing this project to close out the year and share in the Christmas spirit. It's a Poem that celebrates storytelling and the power of words. A tool that can both make or break, heal and hurt. It is an honor for every Poet and storyteller to wield words in a way that serves the human experience so kindly. We hope you enjoy this as you enjoy the holidays, and keep your eyes peeled for 2021. 😉 We have a lot in store for you!!!
