Simon Hennessy 

Irish actor, comedian and writer Simon Hennessy is one of Ireland's fastest rising comedy stars. A regular feature already across stages and screens in Ireland, the UK and the US, he rose to prominence posting sketch comedy during lockdown, where his viral characters and parody songs have seen him amass a global online following of over 420,000 people across Instagram and TikTok.

As a screen actor, Simon has featured on RTE Player comedy series including Darren and Joe's Free Gaff and Ireland's Perfect Pubs, as well as on Virgin Media's Selling Bedsits. His on-stage acting includes his debut one-man show Afters, which completed a sellout tour of the UK and Ireland in 2023, and his sophomore show Notice Box, which achieved critical and commercial acclaim on its own tour in 2024 after highly successful runs at the Edinburgh and Dublin Fringe Festivals in 2024.

Having made his live comedy debut in 2022, Simon has gone on to headline comedy clubs across Ireland and in London, as well as performing at festivals such as the Paddy Power Comedy Festival, All Together Now and Otherside.
