Nominated for 'best newcomer' at Greater Manchester Fringe 2024, The Beauty of Being Herd is Ruth Berkoff’s debut show - a funny, heartfelt, quirky tale with original songs, comedy and even a rave about Hannah, who's decided to live as a sheep.

Don’t worry, she’s thought it all through. She’s even got a raincoat. And she’d love to tell you all about it at her BIG GOODBYE PARTY. Everyone is invited.

Whether you’re shy, neurodivergent, have ever accidentally put your foot in it or simply had to spend time with people that weren’t “your people”, The Beauty of Being Herd is for anyone who’s ever found it hard to fit in.

This is unlike anything you've ever seen before.
