Emer Dineen discusses the inspiration behind her drag king character Cupid, exploring themes of connection, loneliness, and the balance between humour and serious topics in her performance. She reflects on her personal experiences, including her journey with Tourettes and ADHD, and emphasises the importance of accessibility in the arts. The discussion highlights the unique genre-defying aspects of her show, the collaborative efforts of her talented team, and the messages of acceptance and connection she hopes to convey to her audience.

About 0800 CUPID:

THISISPOPBABY and Soho Theatre presents 0800 CUPID - a genre-defying, vibrant and timely response to the swelling social anxiety of our post-pandemic, pre-apocalyptic world.

Fresh off the back of a sold out run at Dublin Theatre Festival, 0800 CUPID - a nightclub interruption and queer cabaret explosion set amidst the bright lights of London – will bring the vitality and spontaneity of queer counterculture to the main stage at London’s Soho Theatre from Wednesday 16th to Saturday 26th October 2024. Tickets are available now at sohotheatre.com. 

Platforming a new generation of Irish diaspora voices and celebrating the creativity of Irish theatre creatives, 0800 CUPID is THISISPOPBABY’s newest offering since smash hit WAKE (which made its debut at Dublin Fringe Festival to critical acclaim) and is the latest of the production company’s hugely anticipated residencies at Soho Theatre (Panti Bliss: If These Wigs Could Talk, High Heels in Low Places).  

Written by Emer Dineen (breakout star of WAKE, MODEST, Bourgeois and Maurice’s Insane Animals) and directed by Phillip McMahon (WAKE, RIOT, Dublin Oldschool, Insane Animals) with music production by Irish EDM legend Elaine Mai, 0800 CUPID fizzes between performance and reality, and is a camp catalyst for reconnection which speaks from a disconnected generation partying as if the world is ending, while struggling with loneliness, the cost of living, comparison and making sense of meaning. 

Through her drag persona, crumbling club-kid ‘Cupid’, Emer Dineen grapples with love in a lonely capitalist paradigm. Hungover, moulting and disorientated, our redundant deity battles with modern life, unravelling Emer’s true story of navigating personal loss, dysfunctional relationships and finding meaningful connection in the city - where she least expected it.
