The Christmas with Judy special event will include a specially commissioned cabaret performance by Judy and her accompanying pianist Aiden Boland featuring Christmas-themed songs, some classics and a few special surprises on the evening.

She has been twice recognised for her work by the Association of Irish Musical Societies who awarded her the Best Comedienne award for her work on ‘Hot Mikado and Best Supporting Actress in ‘Copacabana’, role which she performed for Limerick Musical Society.
As well as being involved in musicals, Judy was a member of the Granary Players for several years and won a Joint Actress Award for the play ‘Shakers’ on the 3 Act Festival Circuit.
