Voilà La Charlatanne


Karen Egan with The Cian Boylan Quintet. Wednesday January 20th @ 8pm. John Field Room. Tickets: €22.

“The real thing.” THE IRISH TIMES

The chic diva and former ‘Nuala’ presents a show filled with bold, brassy rhythm and attitude and plenty of comic timing. Mixing a cocktail of Cohen, Brel, Waits and Piaf and Egan’s trademark originals songs, there will be something for everyone!  Karen sings in English with a dash of French and maybe a smidgen of Russian to boot! Karen loves performing music with a theatrical style. Known for her dry wit, she manages to juxtapose the funny with the serious, the bizarre with the macabre.

Karen Egan has a background in theatre and has acted in many groundbreaking productions including the award-winning ‘Dublin By Lamplight’ (Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2005 & UK tour 2006). Karen was also a member of the comedy singing trio, The Nualas and has just finished shooting a new RTE television comedy series entitled ‘Your Bad Self’ . La Charlatanne is a perfect blend of Karen’s talents: comedy, music and drama.

Supported by a six-piece band, this is a show that will delight in its contradictions. Sexy burlesque, wonderful music and unmissable magic!!
