Six performers on stage in blue and purple light. They stand in front of a scaffolding set, all dressed in punk attire, with some people in leather, others in ripped jeans, fringe, and lavish headdresses. One person kneels at the front, with their elbow out while a person beside them in a wheelchair leans their arm on them. Four people stand proudly behind them, with one person on the far right playing a guitar.



Punk Alley is a loud, wild, and unapologetic joyride of live original punk music and high energy dance. But don’t leave your adults at home – this is a punk show for everyone.

About the show

Enter the world of the Lazurr Tuts, a world-famous, guitar wielding, foot stomping punk band made up of misfits and outcasts. They are in the business of making music and speaking out, and you have been invited into an exclusive rehearsal.

Dance, sing, shout, whisper, stomp, spin, sign and shake with the Lazurr Tuts on a journey of self- expression. No matter how loud or soft, the Lazurr Tuts want you to know that what you have to say is important. Set your inner anarchist free and celebrate the joys of being you in a safe, caring environment in which everyone is equal.

‘Moxie Brawl offers a delightfully Irish blend of comedy, theatre and dance with an unashamedly female driven political focus. It’s a charmingly tongue-in-cheek romp.’
