Diarmuid Ó Drisceoil has performed at the Cape Clear Storytelling Festival and, in 2025, sold out three consecutive shows at Coughlan’s, Cork City. As a writer, historian, and storyteller, he has appeared on RTÉ Radio, the Irish Times, the Irish Examiner and the Irish Independent. He draws his material from the Irish and European folk traditions but also mines his family history and life experience to craft stories that are funny, moving, and always memorable.
