Celebrating life despite the heartache

EILISH O’CARROLL, the sister of comedian Brendan O’Carroll, is still reeling at the death of their brother, Gerry, in October. Even in the midst of grief, however, O’Carroll is pressing on with her one-woman stage show.

“There’s nothing like the death of someone close to make you stop in your tracks and wonder what it’s all about. You’ve got to live life at full tilt, while you can. None of us will go on forever,” says Eilish.

If the privilege of a life is being who you are, then Eilish fearlessly exemplifies this through the subject matter of her performance. Herself.
