Myself and John O’Keeffee set up a comedy club in Dublin in 2024.

The idea was to provide comedy & a social space for audiences, something not quite done in the comedy scene in Dublin.

We had fantastic success with our single’s comedy night.

Myself and Mikey Fleming wrote this. Then he directed it and I starred in it.

It sold out at Smock Alley in Dublin before we took it to the Edinburgh Fringe and then shit hit the fan.

We sold out, got rave reviews - it was a surreal beautiful time.

We had enough interest after the play (and maybe we just wanted to do it for us) to adapt the play into a feature.

This took way, way longer than we initially imagined, but, it’s done now. And it’s good, really good. Like, I’m surprised by how good it is.

Can’t wait to make this thing.

I decided to do a video a day, for a year, on my Instagram. Kinda to overcome my fear of it. I amassed over 32k followers in the space of that year.

Some good, some bad, some terrible, some funny. Now, I’m trying to be more conscientious about what I upload as a reel.

This is where I started writing, filming, editing. This is really where I learned.

We aimed to make a sketch a week, every week for as long as we could handle it.

There was two of us in Half a Shillin’ - myself and the very talented Fergus Mulligan.
