Fiona O’Carroll on the joys of working with her dad Brendan, and her new musical
Fiona O'Carroll plays Gretchen in Copper Face Jack’s, The Musical.
Performing is clearly in the blood for Fiona O’Carroll, daughter of the comedian Brendan, but before her dad became a household name, she enjoyed a taste of fame that cemented her career path.
“When I was ten, we were trying to raise money for my school in Ashbourne. I was in the school choir and we did a song called The Christmas Rapper, and I was the rapper. I think it went to number six or something in the chart. We were on TV and we travelled all over the country; I got to perform in the National Concert Hall and the Mansion House.”
