Margaritas & Mayhem sounds like our kind of at-home workshop
This sounds like a decent evening off.
Actress and comedian Norma Sheahan will be hosting a special Network Ireland Cork live webinar this week, and all you need to fully participate in the fun is a ticket and the ingredients for a zingy cocktail.
Margheritas & Mayhem takes place on Wednesday, May 6th from 8pm-9pm so put the kids to bed and secure a spot on the sofa nice and early.
Survival skills for strange times
A Cork native, Norma, who has starred in Bridget & Eamon, Moone Boy and Damo & Ivor, will reveal how her life has changed as a result of Covid-19. The performer was touring her sellout stand-up show Heal your Hole with Norma Sheahan when the national lockdown began.
“As an artist, I’m always adapting and reinventing myself to survive, but Covid has taken this to the next level.” she said.
“For example, I just filmed a short play for the Abbey Theatre in my bathroom, and I am recording podcasts from the boot of my car and putting them on Apple and Spotify.
Podcast Episode 1 on Spotify & Apple. “Heal Your Hole with Norma Sheahan”. First Episode = “Get up off your hole”. https://t.co/Dbeka6bstF (website by @WarbbleHQ )

“Despite our lives being straight-jacketed, we are still feeling swamped. Should we do homework or housework? Am I fit or am I fat? Flatten the curve, flatten my own curves! Reduce the kids’ screen time but they must Zoom all day long. I even allowed them to buy two guinea pigs yesterday. If we don’t laugh, we will cry, so I am delighted to be asked by Network Ireland Cork to speak at their next webinar and provide some survival skills during these strange times.”
Margheritas & Mayhem will also include a cocktail masterclass with Mags O’Connor of the Cornstore Restaurant and the evening will finish with music from singer Fiona Kennedy.
Registration is free for Network Cork members and €15 for non-members here. The event will raise funds for Cork ARC Cancer Support House, with a percentage of the proceeds of non-member ticket sales going to the charity. To make a €4 donation to Cork ARC Cancer Support House text GIFT to 50300.
Oh and by the way: pop some tequila, triple sec and fresh limes in your grocery shop.
