Bernard O'Shea launches new Irish Examiner column

Ahead of his new column, Under the Influence, the comedian and writer chats about resolutions, new experiences, and leaking on the Luas

Bernard O'Shea has plenty of New Year's resolutions, which he will be sharing with Irish Examiner readers from next week.

As comedian and new Irish Examiner columnist Bernard O’Shea says, once lockdown hit “you either got a dog or you got into wellness.” The father of three chose to go for the latter, seeing as his young children already “own,” him, and to write about his experiences for Irish Examiner Lifestyle readers.

“I’m going to try out new experiences and influences that are trending online. From bizarre diets, freakish fashion, food and fitness fads to experimenting with unusual beauty products,” he explains over Zoom from his Dublin city office.
