Life Shop Till You Drop!
The hilarious rise and fall of Ireland's first self-help guru.

Life Shop till you Drop! is the Sassy Girl’s Self-Help Solution.

Life Shop Till You Drop! begun life in January 2007 in Bewleys Café Theatre, Dublin. It then played five National Tours and one International Tour to Abu Dhabi, totalling 120 performances up and down the country from the Cork Midsummer Festival to Belfast's Out to Lunch Festival and everywhere in between.

Ailish McGovern is an unfulfilled Recruitment Consultant. For Ailish life would be perfect if she had a marriage proposal, a glamorous job, and most importantly won Irish Tatler Woman of the Year. And so she selects this as the year in which she will transform her life, by applying all of the instructions and mantras of self-help gurus.

Join Ailish, as she goes speed dating, feng shuis her 100% mortgaged apartment and targets the perfect boyfriend, using the New York manual ‘Your soul mate is out there and missing you.’ Next on her hit list is taking over her boss' job using ‘The work secrets only successful people know!’

However, no self-help book that she has studied teaches that pride comes before a fall. A cautionary tale, or more likely, a wickedly fun spoof on our love of going life shopping.
