For one night only The Imp will take over Upstairs at The MAC for a night filled with the bizarre. Brought to The MAC on 25th February by Amadan, a duo dedicated to bringing the grotesque style of bouffon to the Northern Ireland theatre scene, this promises to be a show unlike any other.

Made up of husband and wife team Jude Quinn and Gemma Mae Halligan – the two have been working in theatre for over 10 years (including Jude’s training in Paris at the prestigious Ecole Internationale de Theatre Jacques Lecoq and with clown master Phillipe Gaulier who taught Sacha Baron Cohen) and have now decide to create their own work.

Promising a show full of anarchy – expect to get involved, get funny, get grossed out and get thinking with the help of The Imp.

He looks different, his walk is strange, his face funny and he says nothing with his mouth but a lot with his body. If you are brave enough, this delightfully perverse prankster will lead you on a journey of squeamish laughter, grotesque truths and maybe some slightly uncomfortable self-discovery. He may look bizarre and do the most outlandish things but is the Imp really that different from you?

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm 30 years old and have a degree in Journalism with Photo-Imaging at the University of Ulster. I have an undying love for Belfast and all that it has to offer, an undying love for sleeping, Tegan and Sara, trashy tv shows, foreign snack-foods and being irresponsible with money. I also quite like origami, reading, jazz, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV. I've written for The Big List, Culture NI, Chatterbox and The Echo, as well as writing for BBC Across the Line.
