VIDEO: Meet the Galway native who’s making quite the impression by ‘cracking the crowd’

Shane Cunningham, 20, has made quite the impression on the public with his ability to impersonate well known characters such as Daniel O’Donnell and Michael D Higgins.

The Galway native impressionist has performed at weddings, socials and balls around the country and can be recognised also from his online videos and success on national radio.

He studied drama for five years at the All Star Performing Art Academy in Mayo and there was asked to take on different accents for pantomimes and Shakespearean plays.
