What’s the story Rory? Comedian who carved a career from social media hits the limelight

Rory O’Connor, aka Rory’s Stories, is part of a new wave of Irish and international comedians – including Conor Moore, The 2 Johnnies and Giz a Laugh’s Enya Martin – who have used the power of the internet to carve tidy careers.

O’Connor’s madcap social media videos (and his two spin-off Rory’s Stories guidebooks) originally lampooned stock characters from the world of GAA, like the mad mother on the side-line, the free-taker in love with himself and the super sub.
