About Cathal

I am a professional storyteller, actor, and facilitator based in Dublin with over a decade of experience leading performances and workshops for international visitors, schools, and corporate groups. My work blends Irish mythology, folklore, and traditional song to create immersive experiences that inspire, entertain, and connect people.

Drawing on my background in theatre, film, and public speaking, I help participants build confidence, creativity, and authentic communication through the power of story and performance. Whether performing captivating shows or leading interactive workshops, I bring warmth, energy, and a deep passion for sharing Ireland’s rich heritage in a way that resonates with modern audiences.

Additional Notes
I have a broad range of backgrounds in culture, as does my wife. I have worked as a tour guide in Dublin the last 10 years. I am also an actor and a musician/singer. My wife teaches dance and drama and is a qualified Irish dancing teacher. She has recently qualified as a yoga teacher and mindfulness coach. Both of us are also qualified hypnotherapists. I am also a self defence instructor (though I haven't taught in 10 years).
