The Year of Magical Wanking January 17, 2012

THISPOPBABY and Theatre Works present

The Year of Magical Wanking
Written and performed by Neil Watkins

"THISISPOPBABY are not so much cutting edge, as creators of a whole new edge in itself." - The Sunday Tribune

Neil Watkins has wanked more than is healthy...allegedly. One of Ireland’s most exciting artists and incendiary performers; Neil is a force of nature, a maverick, a 33-year old homosexual with a Jesus complex. On orders from heaven, this is Neil’s journey through the wilderness of queerness; from Catholic Ireland to the cruising bars of the world, from suburban Head Shops to Native American ceremonies.

Named as Queer Notions 2010 Festival Highlight by The Irish Times, and with a critically acclaimed sold-out season in the Dublin Fringe Festival, this is a brave and heartbreaking exploration of porn addiction, destructive sexual behaviour, Catholic guilt and family heartbreak. Written in hypnotic verse; it is both a profound personal journey and a furious state of the nation address.

“Truthful, heartfelt and immediately identifiable… astonishingly brave.” - The Irish Times
