“A fun bonkers emotional joyous unique show” – Belfast Times 

We cordially invite you to the opening of our cafe — there are no meals, per se, but there is a menu of theatrical bites to amuse your bouche. We’re cooking up a selection of pieces, some salty, some sweet, and some completely unexpected, and you get to choose all your courses. Join us for a surprising, satisfying, and silly night out at this American premiere collaboration between Northern Ireland’s Big Telly and Philadelphia’s Tiny Dynamite. Each ticket includes the show, a beverage, and a snack — even the worst cafe in the world wouldn’t send you away hungry!

You’ll be seated and provided with a menu from which you’ll choose a series of theatrical moments from our performer-servers — small bites for yourself, entrees for your table, or sharing platters for the whole cafe. You might enjoy a monologue, a digital experience, a full-audience improvisation, or something else entirely unexpected and thoroughly enjoyable.

The first week of performances will take place as part of the Origin 1st Irish Festival Off-Broadway in NYC. The second and third weeks will take place in Philadelphia.
