Award winning comedian and Ireland’s “queen of the offbeat” Áine Gallagher, is on a mission to prove that speaking Irish can be both accessible and hilarious. Using her quirky and deadpan style as her secret weapon, Áine navigates dating, mug-cake-baking, and mistake-making to create a wholly unique comedy experience. A comedy experience that is bilingual but also completely accessible and that guarantees to reignite your grá for the language and unlock your cúpla focal.

Guaranteed to ignite your passion for Irish, even if you’re never heard a word!

Áine Gallagher is an award winning comedian, storyteller and Ireland’s only guerilla Irish language enthusiast. Áine loves to create fun and friendly ways to get people using their cúpla focal. That’s why she has developed the concept of the “cup of focals”, a literal cup full of Irish words. With her cup, Áine enjoys popping up in unexpected places to share her love of Irish and aim to provide others with a quick and enjoyable interaction as Gaeilge.

Keep an eye out for her as she will be roaming the grounds of Merrion Square Park on Saturday 18 May with her cup and popping out from behind a tree to help you to unlock your cúpla focal!
