My Childhood with Bernard Casey: After my first comedy set I knew it was the life for me

Chatty, imaginative child Bernard now a stand-up guy

Casey was an imaginative child, and when chatting to those elderly relatives he would often assume a character.

Listen to Bernard Casey’s comedy and you’ll hear echoes of his childhood in Kerry. The characters in his stand-up routines and online videos are inspired by conversations he had with people he knew when he was growing up in Portmagee.

Casey is the youngest of four children, with a six-year gap between him and the second-youngest, Lorraine.
