One day in 2022, Claire Roche stood in her kitchen, looked at her husband and three young children, and declared, “That’s it—I need to be back on stage. Make your own dinners.” Without missing a beat, she jumped in the car and headed straight into Dublin for her first open mic night. She hasn’t looked back since, quickly becoming a rising presence on the shelf-like stages of the Irish comedy scene.
Claire also co-produces comedy shows with her creative partner, drawing media attention for their bold and hilarious take on women’s safety in today’s world—using humour as both spotlight and shield.
