FUNNY FOCIAL
Funny Focail is a bilingual comedy night created by Diane O’Connor and Louise O’Toole aimed at an audience with anything from beagán to morán Gaeilge. The comedy on the night is half through Irish and half through English providing a space to practice and learn cúpla focail, and mostly importantly to have a laugh!
Áine Gallagher, the “queen of offbeat”, is a professional comedian and artist described by Aisling Bea as a “mini Ardal O’Hanlon”. She loves performing but her true dream in life is to give everyone in Ireland a focal. That’s why she has become Ireland’s only Guerrilla Gaeilge Activist, roaming the streets with her ‘Cup of Focals’ and surprising strangers into speaking some Irish with her.
Working across mediums, she not only aims to unlock the Irish in all of us but is dedicated to using her wholly unique approach to tell authentic stories, guarantee audiences a “divinely awkward” experience and help people connect through humour.
