From the award-winning mind behind 'A Night With George', 'Crazy' and 'Binlids', Brenda Murphy's 'Baby It’s Cold Outside' returns. Brenda's sharpest, funniest, and most outrageous comedy 'Baby It’s Cold Outside' is a riotous, black-humoured romp through love, identity, and the chaos of human relationships—set in a snowbound cottage on Belfast’s Black Mountain.
Patsy, a pregnant young woman from West Belfast, retreats to the cottage with her two closest friends—Sally, a marine biologist and her partner, and Madison, a glamorous American law student. All three women are lesbians, and life is peaceful… until Joe, Patsy’s clueless ex-boyfriend and the baby’s father, arrives out of the blizzard determined to reclaim his place in her life.
What follows is a hilarious tug-of-war between Joe’s outdated views and the women’s unapologetic lives. Joe can’t quite grasp the situation—he’s convinced lesbians don’t work in Primark and that gay men only exist in salons or on airplanes. As tensions rise and the baby’s arrival looms, the cottage becomes a battleground of wit, warmth, and wild revelations.
