Love happy, money happy, beauty happy, friends happy, sports happy, McDonalds happy…F*ck My Life.

What’s it really like being a teenager today? And how on earth do you become a happy one? What drives teenagers to profound sadness or extreme violence? Ireland has one of the highest teen suicide rates in Europe. What about the rest of the world?



After standing ovations and 4 star reviews in Cork and wowing international audiences ranging from London to Helsinki, now’s your opportunity to see F*ck My Life, one of the highlights of ABSOLUT Fringe.



F*ck My Life casts a spotlight on the lives of 15 young Corkonians in this blend of spoken word and film, true confessions and lies. Who is the funniest, most beautiful, most dangerous? Who will fall by the wayside? Who won’t live to see twenty? Who needs help?



For all teenagers and everyone who has ever been one …
