Sadie Devine Brings Laughter to Belfast with New Christmas Show

Sadie Devine, widely recognized as The Belfast Ma, is set to delight audiences with her new show, The Belfast Ma: Sortin Christmas, at the Mac theatre in Belfast. The performance, which runs until December 31, 2023, promises a heartwarming blend of humor and family antics as she and her nephew Stevie prepare for the festive season.

Devine has fond memories of Ballycastle, a picturesque coastal town in Northern Ireland. She describes it as her favourite getaway, where the stunning scenery and local eateries create a sense of pure bliss. “Me and my John used to take the kids there on holiday every summer,” she shares. Devine fondly recalls her neighbor, Dirty Gerty, who generously offers her caravan for family trips, describing her as “a wee gem.”

When discussing her favorite film, Devine expresses a deep emotional connection to Titanic, famously known as Belfast’s greatest love story. “I just bawl my eyes out every time,” she admits, noting that despite the well-known ending, she finds herself cheering for the characters.

Her culinary preference is equally heartfelt; Devine finds comfort in a big bowl of stew. “It’s like getting a big hug on a cold day,” she explains, emphasizing the dish’s significance in her life. She enjoys it smothered in brown sauce, accompanied by a Belfast Bap with butter, calling it “heaven on a plate,” particularly on winter nights.

Devine’s reading choices lean towards romance, with Fifty Shades of Grey standing out as a personal favorite. “I was hooked from start to finish,” she recounts, noting the film adaptation featuring Jamie Dornan, a local star. Her enthusiasm extends to music, especially during the holiday season. She enjoys listening to Christmas songs year-round, with One More Sleep by Leona Lewis topping her list, alongside classics from Mariah Carey.

The upcoming show aims to capture the spirit of the season through Devine’s humorous lens, making it a must-see for families this Christmas. Performances will take place at the Mac theatre, a well-known venue in Belfast. For more details, interested audiences can visit www.thebelfastma.co.uk.
