Actor, Improviser, Writer, Teacher, Dreamer, Spacer. listener, that's me...Love to travel, sometimes inward sometimes across the globe. Love people, places and things in that order.

Having fun doing some in-house, corporate and improv workshops across Mother Ireland, and looking to get a bunch of talented nutters together in Galway to do some serious home-turf improv performances. Send me a message if you are up for the challenge.. Shakin' and groovin' in '09!

I met someone at a party on Saturday who told me the best buzz she had at the festival was hanging out with a girl she met (who was in character). It took about 10 seconds of her talking about the girl for me to ask "her name wasn't Órla was it?"
Yes it was - fair play ya!!
And thanks for gig comments - best buzz of my life I have to say, loved it..
