*clears throat nervously*

SHOWKIDS is definitely the most personal thing I’ve ever made. It was partly inspired by my own family + child acting life - I went to an intense but brilliant after-school drama class like Miss Jessop’s, where our imaginations were encouraged rather than dampened down, and I hope this show does that too. It’s not about kids becoming actors, more about using drama to find out who you are (which I’m still trying to work out!?) 🎭

It’s also got some of the best + funniest people ever, like brand new megastar Flynn Gray, Philippa flippin’ Dunne, Killian Sundermann, Ardal O’Hanlon, Amy De Bhrún, Peter McGann and so many talented others 🙏🏽


First episode is on RTÉ One at 5:10pm this Sunday - it's on the RTÉ Player as well, and I wrote about it here! We really hope it makes you giggle, and maybe get a bit teary too? 🧡💫
