What I do: I do lots of things. At the moment I am playing the part of Beauty in the Everyman Palace Theatre Christmas Panto, Beauty and the Beast, which is hard work, but great fun.

I am also one of two lead vocalists with Ocean’s Six (wedding and party band available for hire!). I work more frequently as a freelance theatre producer and event manager, and spent the first half of this year running Kinsale Arts Week 2011 as festival manager, and producing Hammergrin’s Latch for Cork Midsummer Festival 2011. And in 2012, I’m looking forward to taking on my very first directing project with Cork-based theatre collective Broken Crow (of which I am a member). The piece is a new work by Ronan Fitzgibbon, called Mantle.

Favourite café: Gulpd Café at Triskel Arts Centre. I’m not a coffee drinker: the grub at Gulpd is delicious and hearty, and the staff are great.
