Devious Theatre were founded in Kilkenny in 2006. We perform different works in different spaces for different audiences using different methods. Our work hops genre but stays rooted in a style of comedy we have honed over the years. We don’t like labels. Thus, our artistic credo is mostly ADHD based and fairly guerrilla. We have performed 28 shows to date, have won an IMRO Award for Radio Drama and have had our work featured at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Cork Midsummer Festival, Dublin Fringe Festival, Galway Theatre Festival, Electric Picnic, West Cork Fit Up Festival, Scene and Heard and The Theatre Machine Turns You On amongst others. We were the first theatre artists in residence in Kilkenny Arts Office with our In The Future When All’s Well residency in 2011.
Our core company members are Ken McGuire, Kevin Mooney, Niamh Moroney and John Morton.
L-R: Kevin Mooney, John Morton, Niamh Moroney, Ken McGuire.
