Hector - one of the three funniest men to ever come out of Navan (the other two being Tommy Tiernan and Dylan Moran) - has a real flair for comedy, possessed by what Evoke.ie called his “boundless liveliness, craic and joie de vivre”.

He is best known for his broadcasting work on RTÉ 2FM and his acclaimed travel documentaries for TG4. He has also hosted numerous stand-up shows over the years and was a co-host of the much missed Tommy, Hector & Laurita Podcast.

Gáire As Gaeilge: Nights of stand-up comedy as Gaeilge! Galway Comedy Festival is delighted to present these shows in our native language. Hosted by Hector Ó hEochagáin, ri ra agus rúla búla go leor awaits! Fáilte isteach!

The Irish Words You Should Know: Whether you’re a gaeilgeoir or, like Hector, you were no swot in school and couldn’t write a word of Irish, this is the book for you. The Irish Words You Should Know will have you speaking the cúpla focail with confidence, while reminding you of the fun and magic in the language that is our inheritance.
