The Beauty of Being Herd

YOU’RE INVITED TO HANNAH’S BIG GOODBYE PARTY! (Please no presents)

Hannah’s given it her best shot. Now she's waving goodbye to human life as she knows it... and is going to live as a sheep!

Be prepared to be wowed by sheep facts banging tunes and an epic sheep outfit - via an office party a rave and the No.35 bus. But let’s not give it all away - the best parties need the odd surprise... 

Set to take Brighton Fringe by storm The Beauty of Being Herd is a funny heartfelt and quirky show exploring themes of belonging social anxiety neurodiversity and consent in a playful sensitive way.

This show is for anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider: maybe you’re shy maybe you regularly accidentally put your foot in it or maybe you've just found yourself spending time with people that aren’t ‘your people.’

Runner-up for Best Newcomer and Best New Writing at Manchester Fringe 2024 five-star reviewed The Beauty of Being Herd is Gaulier graduate Ruth Berkoff’s debut show.
