Deirdre O’Kane is returning to the live comedy circuit after a break to pursue other acting roles.
Comedian Deirdre O’Kane has revealed she is going back to her stand-up roots.
The 45-year-old, who is about to star in the third series of Moone Boy, will return to the live comedy circuit after a break to pursue other acting roles.
She said: “I am back writing stand-up – I’m doing a new stand-up show because I felt I had something to say again.
“Arriving at middle age I felt I needed to say stuff.”
O'Kane became a stand-up comic in 1996 and got into the finals of the BBC New Comedy Awards of that year. She has played at the Edinburgh Festival every year since including 2001 where she not only performed her own solo show, Deirdre O'Kane is Crystallized, but also the two-hander Tis Pity She's Anonymous. She has also played The Melbourne, Adelaide and Kilkenny Cat Laughs Festivals and has toured the Middle East, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Prague, Brussels and London.
