Funny Girl: Margaret McAuliffe on Acting, Motherhood, and Making It Work

In this week’s episode, Funny Girl, I sit down with Margaret McAuliffe, actress, writer, comedian, and the creative force behind The Humours of Bandon, her critically acclaimed one-woman show.

We talk about her journey from the early days to building a career in Ireland’s creative scene, and what it really takes to sustain a life in the arts. Margaret shares the story behind The Humours of Bandon, performing solo on international stages, and the resilience, humour, and honesty that fuel her work.

We also get into the personal side, motherhood, balance, and how having her daughter reshaped her perspective on creativity and ambition.

A warm, funny, and refreshingly honest conversation about the realities of being a creative in Ireland.
