The Party at the End

21st November 2026

ARK - Cliftonville's Cultural Space

Part storytelling, part performance, part collective gathering... warm, irreverent, and unexpectedly joyful performance at ARK in Cliftonville

7pm - 8.30pm

There’s a woman in glittery shoes trying to talk about the one thing nobody wants to talk about... Death. Not an obvious crowd-pleaser.

And yet, with extraordinary storytelling, a disco ball, and a wicked sense of humour, Have a Nice Day turns our favourite taboo into a celebration of the strange, messy, beautiful business of being alive.

Growing up against the backdrop of an undeclared civil war, Suzy learned early that people vanish. Lost lives, stolen moments, and final embraces met with silence over cups of tea. Thirty years later, after losing her dad during COVID and witnessing more than her fair share of 'bad' deaths, she wants to know: What does a nice death actually look like?

And, if we stopped pretending death wasn’t coming, might we get a little better at living?

There will be stories. There will be a disco ball. There may be some tears, but not too many. There will definitely be laughs.
