The Nualas were an Irish cabaret trio known for performing spoof songs. The group — with characters named Nuala, Nuala and Nuala— was founded by Anne Gildea, Sue Collins and Tara Flynn in 1995. Flynn was replaced at several points since 2002 by Susanna de Wrixon, Karen Egan, Maria Tecce, and Josephine O'Reilly. Performing predominantly in the UK and Ireland, including the Edinburgh Fringe in 2001 and 2014, they also performed in New York and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala. The group last performed in 2018.
In 1998, they produced a series for BBC Radio 4 featuring Paul Tylak and a Christmas special.
In 2015, they created a song, "Yes 2 Love", promoting a 'yes' vote in the Irish marriage equality referendum.
