About

Hello there, I am John and I thought about writing this like I was famous or someone else was hired to do it, but let’s just stick to the facts. I am a man, most of the time. In addition to my gender, I grew up in west Limerick, which is in Ireland, and I also grew up on a dairy farm, something which haunts me to this day. In 2018 I foolishly did an open mic in Dublin and found my ‘purpose’, the horrible thing, and now I’m happy and always miserable about comedy and everything related to it. It’s really a dream come true.

It’s also taken me almost a year to update this page, which gives you an indication of how much my ADHD, that I probably have, has affected my ability to do even the most basic and simple tasks.

I have had minor success. Someone once mistook me for a person who had a TV show, which felt really good. I also won a comedy competition in 2019, something I have failed to do since. To make matters worse, it was my very first comedy competition, making me think I was especially brilliant until I didn’t win the next three finals with the same 8 people in them. Still, I’ll always have Valentine’s day, Bray, 2019 when I didn’t do anything with my girlfriend, won the trophy, and lost the lady. But that was 3 years later in an unrelated act of her being unfaithful.

Always on the lookout for the next laugh.

This picture is one my girlfriend has decided to put in there because she’s designed the webpage and any success I ever may have can be attributed almost entirely to her making this website for me.

Oh I did two Edinburgh festival shows, in 2023 and 2024, which went pretty well actually. The second one was better than the first, probably because I had an extra year’s experience, and people tend to get better with practice.

When I get an agent I’ll be sure and let you know, via Instagram.
