Cork comedian Kyla Cobbler: 'A good girl when I was growing up was a quiet girl'

Kyla Cobbler moved to Barcelona, on her own, to live in the city at an unusual moment – February 2020. Within a few weeks, the pandemic had engulfed Spain. She had to endure one of Europe’s harshest lockdowns, confined to her apartment for a couple of months except for trips to the pharmacy or for groceries.
“I had moved into an apartment for 10 people, but they were all students so they went home as their university closed,” she says. “I was left living with an Indian lady, who slept a lot. I invited an Australian journalist, who I met through a friend, to move in. She worked for the Financial Times, a really interesting lady. We spent our time drinking.
