Quirky (Quirky songs written by quirky songwriters sung by a quirky singer) May 17, 2026
Since when do irreverence and genuine warmth go together? Since “Quirky”! Come hear a mix of offbeat, funny, honest and uplifting songs about love, longing and life, by talented but lesser-known songwriters, including Ruth’s own dad. Reviewers describe Ruth as “a warm communicator”, with “spot on comedy timing”. Audience members say “Quirky” is “enthralling and delightful, a much-needed antidote in today’s world”. With wonderful music director Beckie Menzie, “this show is a joy”.
