Storytelling
As a storyteller, I love to wander, to meet new people and share stories. I perform stories on my own, alongside others, as well as collaborating with individuals, communities and businesses to make new stories, performances and events. Here are my current storytelling shows which are available to tour. And below you will find my calendar of events, where you can see when and where to find me sharing stories, putting on shows or hosting.
No One is Coming
Have you ever been swapping funny family anecdotes with friends/colleagues and when you share your own, suddenly everybody stops laughing? And then, during an excruciating pause, you watch as they all slowly tilt their heads in consternation and ask you, ever so gently, if everything is ok?
No One Is Coming is a devised, storytelling performance about a mother and a daughter inspired by lived experience and infused with Irish mythology and comedy. This storytelling event is not just about those who live with mental health challenges, but also about those who care for them, love them, and grow up with them.
Encompassing elements of Irish folklore, this storytelling performance is full of anecdotes and myth, funny stories and tough home truths. It’s a rollercoaster experience inside a hilarious (if ever so slightly traumatised) Irishwoman’s brain.
Discover more about my solo storytelling shows and where you can find me performing next. Come along and let me tell you a story.

Banlaoch
Storytelling with an edge. A mix of personal stories and epic Irish myths. An exploration of love & fear, addiction & healing. Great hero Fionn McCool cups the spring water in his hands. The wounded man waits at the foot of the hill. A few drops of water from Fionn will cure his wounds & restore him. Fionn thinks of beautiful Grainne & lets the water drain from his
fingers.
Growing up in a home with mental health issues & addiction, Sinead likes to think she is amazingly well-adjusted all things considered. A real Daddy’s girl, her father was her hero. Mam is crazy, Dads the fun one. But as she grows up & her father relapses they are forced to re-examine the stories they told themselves.
