Making a Show of Myself is a modern twist on the essential act of storytelling. Deceptively funny, unexpectedly moving, and ultimately uplifting, Making a Show of Myself celebrates seanchas—the ancient Irish art of storytelling—carrying audiences from laughter through darkness and back into light.

Acclaimed Irish storyteller Mary Kate O Flanagan brings six true, personal, life-affirming stories to the stage. In the spaces between her tales, she lets slip the secrets of why stories matter—how they settle the spirit and light a spark inside us. By making a show out of her own true-life material, O Flanagan, the world’s only Grand Slam Champion Storyteller on public radio’s “The Moth” on two continents, demonstrates how reclaiming your narrative can be a revolutionary act, wresting redemption from the silliest, and sometimes, most painful episodes of your life.
