As some of you may remember I was overjoyed to come across the wonderful Niamh Marron recently at a gig in Whelan’s. So much so that I stalked her on Facebook and begged her to let me interview her. She of course said yes. I sat down to chat to her about life as a comedian and the bits in between! How did you get into comedy? When I was in college I always had an interest in comedy, I was starting to lose interest in my course so I decided to mix my photography and my love of comedy together and did an end of year presentation so I got Dave McSavage, Robbie Bonham, Eleanor Tiernan and Fred Cooke in a photo in mundane poses and then contrasting that with their onstage stuff.

Niamh Marron has been described by many as “filthy”. I was lucky enough to see her recently supporting the wonderful Gearoid Farrelly in Vicar Street. When I heard she was playing in Slattery’s I just had to go along to check her out. I had never been to Slattery’s before. It was their second night to run the comedy night. As a venue for comedy, it’s a bit of a strange one. Set upstairs in the pub, it all seemed a little busy for me with the bar taking over the room a little too much. With people moving around the room to the bar during the gig, it distracted from the comedians on stage for me.

New Comedy: Niamh Marron

So I love my comedy, I really do. I love good comedy. I have yet to find many good female comedians. So imagine my delight when I came across Niamh Marron supporting Gearoid Farrelly in Whelan’s last Thursday night? She is possibly one of the funniest female comedians I have seen in a long time, her sense of humour is filthy but somehow is not uncomfortable…. She is definitely one to watch out for! Hilariously funny and she’s from Monaghan which I am reliably told means she’s just mad anyway! Here she is in action (I couldn’t find a decent video of her so she’s at 1.59) Enjoy!
