Tadhg Hickey is well-known for his clever online sketches but he is relishing the structure and camaraderie that comes with being part of a theatrical cast. The Cork actor/comedian is currently in rehearsal at the Everyman Theatre in Cork for his role in an adaptation of the John B Keane novella, Letters of a Country Postman.

“I love it because I had got so used to working on my own," says Hickey. "Initially, I loved the first lockdown, I was making videos and they were doing quite well. But then you get really introspective. Everybody needs other people, both creatively and in terms of hopping off other human beings. Now I’m working in a big group of talented people, and the structure is doing me good because being left to my own devices long-term isn’t great really.”
