Children’s Theatre: The Giggler Treatment at the Ark

This festive season, following its hugely successful run in 2023, The Ark is proud to present The  Giggler  Treatment, a marvellous, mischievous new musical based on the novel by Roddy Doyle.

If adults are mean to children, they get the  Giggler  Treatment. It’s smelly. It’s squishy. And it sticks to your shoe. But sometimes, just sometimes, the  Gigglers make a mistake… Can Robbie, Kayla, Jimmy and Rover the dog come to Mr Mack’s rescue before the poo hits the shoe?

Written and composed by Fionn Foley, this glorious adaptation of the much-loved novel is teeming with Dublin wit, memorable melodies and belly laughs for children and grown-ups alike.

Jam-packed with big songs and even bigger PONGS, don’t miss the funniest, cheekiest, silliest show in town!
