Fringe hit show on 'Rosa Tralee'

Wednesday August 11 2010

A SELL-OUT Fringe Festival hit, Zocorro Rosa Tralee, comes to Siamsa Tire as part of the festivities of the annual Rose of Tralee Festival from August 2024. Listen to Zocorro as she recalls the memorable year she entered the Rose of Tralee, creating the biggest scandal in the history of the competition!

Zocorro is a Spanish testosterone-fuelled Nanny who dreams of becoming the next Rose of Tralee. Zocorro tackles the giants of nannying Foxrock children, hospitals, leprechauns and Ryanair. She will sacrifice love and bare whatever is necessary to achieve her goal: to be crowned the Rose of Tralee, and win the keys to the Volvo that come with it.

Can a surprise random urine test shatter her dreams? Almodóvar meets Joyce in this stand-up monologue.

Writer/Performer, Leonor Bethencourt, performs regularly in the Dublin stand-up circuit. She was semi-finalist at the 2007 'So You Think You're Funny?' Channel 4 Competition in Edinburgh.

Following a sell out premiere in the 2009 Absolut Fringe and the prestigious Bewley's Award Nomination for Best Show, Zocorro Rosa Tralee has delighted audiences.a
