Final spam - a week ago I ran the @londonmarathon for the amazing team at @medicalaidpal Thanks to each & every one of you who have donated, we raised nearly £2,000 for MAP to continue to work for the health, freedom & dignity of Palestinians worldwide. Any donations have had a direct impact on the work MAP are able to continue to try to do in Gaza. Thank you, thank you, thank you. If you would still like to donate, the link is live in my bio for a few more days. 💚 (Last pic is I believe the exact moment I realised my phone had died mid run. Oh, & that I was never doing this crazy shit again.) Thank you all who donated from the bottom of my heart. Saoirse don Phalaistín 🇵🇸

Here's to the wonders of the western world. A week since the dream that was The Playboy of the Western World closed @nationaltheatre after 80 shows. What an unbelievable privilege to share the stage with these wonders & this national story every night. Thanks to @caitrionamcl @katielouisedavenport @anna.mullarkey @sue.mythen & all at NT for the wildest most wonderful gang I've ever been lucky enough to spend 6 months with (& to my home crew I dragged over to London regularly). Mounted on the springtide of the stars of luck. Catch it in cinemas on NT Live May 28th.  PC @helenmurraypix @marcsbrenner @callistaphotography_ @35mmshortking @camslates (Final photo is me @the__lir playing the wee bellman in the last act 10 years ago. They'd never have believed me.)

Delira to make it to the closing night of @dublinfilmfestival with @powerballadfilm & a bunch of sounders I'm thrilled to be a part of something so gas & glorious & heartfelt. & also to have tried to steal a DIFF sign, a true career highlight!! Go see it in cinemas June for a boogie & a full silly belly laugh. It's glorious. Thanks to @treasureentie & @bordgaisenergytheatre

Galloping into the year of the horse!! 🇵🇸  I'm running the London Marathon for @medicalaidpal in April. Contrary to celebratory photo with my mam from 2024 fundraiser, I'm very bad at running! But while MAP is still doing lifesaving work (you can read about their fight on the banning of aid orgs on their page), please share & donate if you can, you'd have my whole sweaty heart. Link is in my bio. Thank you! Free Palestine.

nollaig shona from your local pagans december of a lifetime with @nationaltheatre and Playboy cast of dreams running until 28th feb!!! (content: blurry bad camera & montage of @megan_cusack making me cackle in various costumes)

BITCH IS BACK Following a sold out, award-winning run in Dublin Fringe 2025, BITCH by Marty Breen is coming to @edfringe & @projectartscentre this summer. PROJECT CUBE, Dublin,  July 22 – 26 2025, 9.15pm PLEASANCE JACK DOME, Edinburgh Fringe Aug 1 – 25 2025 (not 4, 11 & 18), 2.45pm Previews 30th & 31st July We all have a crazy ex, right?  Well, she's here.  Tonight.  Dogged, drunk and self-destructing, she's declaring open war at an open mic.  And she has a lot to say.  Don't they fucking all? All bark and all bite, BITCH is an explosion of theatrical chaos that combines cabaret, stand-up and drag. An award-winning performance that "will likely emotionally eviscerate you", BITCH asks with razor-sharp comedy, acerbic original songs and furious honesty what makes a bad person. ★★★★★ "the hairs on the back of your neck rise as Breen bears their soul. Bold, brave, and oft times brilliant, BITCH is a blisteringly breathtaking experience. But Breen is even better. Not to be missed."
