Runner Up for Best Newcomer and Best New Writing at Greater Manchester Fringe 2024.


The Beauty of Being Herd is a funny, tender, quirky tale with original songs, comedy and possibly a rave.

After years of trying to fit in, Hannah is waving goodbye to life as she knows it to live instead as a sheep.

Join her for frolics, sheep facts and awkward moments at parties.

This is a play for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider.


Ruth Berkoff trained in contemporary circus at Circomedia, Bristol and in theatre and clown at Ecole Philippe Gaulier, France. As an ex-Samaritan, Ruth cares strongly about people feeling understood. As a four-time pantomime dame, she cares immensely about people having the times of their lives at the theatre.

In a time when people are more disconnected and lonelier than ever, this show is one hour of coming together and being part of something together.
