"Pea Dinneen: Raising Her Voice was one of the standouts at the Dublin Fringe Festival this year, and you'll still meet lucky audience members waxing lyrical about what a great time they had at the show. Dinneen wraps serious messages - about being trans, her experiences with the National Gender Service, and life in post-crash Ireland - in sugary 1990s pop songs played with a band."
"Dinneen wraps serious messages - about being trans, her experiences with the National Gender Service, and life in post-crash Ireland - in sugary 1990s pop songs played with a band. This year will surely hold more exciting moments for Dinneen, who is also a co-founder (alongside Aoife Sweeney O'Connor) of the queer cabaret EGG. Dinneen is raising her voice, and we should all listen."
Pea Dinneen's show Raising Her Voice was a standout at the Dublin Fringe Festival and generated enthusiastic audience responses. Dinneen blends serious themes — being trans, experiences with the National Gender Service, and life in post-crash Ireland — with sugary 1990s pop songs performed live with a band. She co-founded the queer cabaret EGG with Aoife Sweeney O'Connor. Additional high-profile opportunities and performances are expected for Dinneen in 2026. Dinneen uses music and cabaret to amplify queer and trans perspectives while combining humour and poignant commentary. Her work connects personal narrative with pop aesthetics to reach broad audiences.
