A Comedy with Heart, Passion & Waterford Pride!
When a group of devoted Déise supporters set out on a journey following the team they love, they discover that life is about far more than trophies and scoreboards.
Through friendship, laughter, setbacks, dreams, and unwavering loyalty, Up The Déise! celebrates the power of community and what it truly means to belong.
This original new comedy is filled with humour, heart, and plenty of Waterford pride.
At its core is a story about inclusion, friendship, family, and finding your place in the world.
Presented by Scene and Heard Productions, Up The Déise! brings together performers of all abilities in a joyful and uplifting celebration of community spirit.
Funny, moving, and unmistakably Waterford, this is a theatrical experience that will leave audiences laughing, cheering, and perhaps shedding the odd tear.
