SESSIONS
By Ifeyinwa Frederick
A Paines Plough and Soho Theatre Production
“30 just matters, init. Like there’s no doubt you’re a proper adult then. Like SESSIONS By Ifeyinwa Frederick A Paines Plough and Soho Theatre Production “30 just matters, init. Like there’s no doubt you’re a proper adult then. Like 25 to 29 is just training but 30, it’s real.” Tunde’s 30th birthday is fast approaching. So, he’s just started therapy because he hasn’t been able to get to the gym for weeks and a recent one-night stand ended in tears – his. Interrogating the challenge of opening up and accepting our own vulnerabilities, SESSIONS by Ifeyinwa Frederick is a raw, funny, bittersweet deep-dive into the complexities of masculinity, depression and therapy.

Ireland, 1966. An ordinary skipper sails into the sleepy town of Dingle with a very unusual catch…
Chaos immediately ensues and a ridiculous series of events are Ireland, 1966. An ordinary skipper sails into the sleepy town of Dingle with a very unusual catch… Chaos immediately ensues and a ridiculous series of events are put into motion, involving the head of the Irish government, a publican who happens to be an amateur marine biologist, a magical dolphin, the actual Queen of England, and a whole bunch of really confused nuns. An unbelievable true story, Catch of the Day is a riotous romp of a play, all set in a West of Ireland pub. Built from the testimonies of those who remember, this ‘side-splittingly funny’ (The Irish Post ★★★★★) and ‘utterly joyous’ (Within Her Words ★★★★★) mash-up of live music, comedy, and theatre, is the ‘ideal show for a night out with friends and family’ (London Theatre 1 ★★★★★). Following an award-nominated run at Edinburgh Fringe (shortlisted for Best Musical), critically acclaimed, sell–out shows in London and Oxford, and fresh from its home-coming Irish tour, Catch of the Day visits *insert venue/town* for the first time. Bring your mates and your mammy, grab a pint with the lads from Dingle, and get ready for one craic-ing night out. One fish can make a big splash.

Since her first stand-up special launched on Amazon Prime in 2020 it’s received a huge amount of critical acclaim, amassing a staggering 60 million views across social media and longlisted for the Best Variety Special Emmy in the Hollywood Reporter Predictions. If you want to be a ‘successful independent woman person’ you better have something you want to say and you better be wearing a Serious Black Jumper™. In this 5-star show, Jayde (as seen hosting Channel 4’s Snackmasters & Crazy Delicious) will rifle through all the noise and self-promotion and figure out what’s actually going on. “she delivers a show that unites the political with the personal in a way that many comics aim for, but few pull off with this sort of aplomb.” ★★★★ (The Times)
