When Deirdre O’Kane cites herself as one of your fans, you know you’re doing something right - and Sharon Mannion certainly is. She was Concepta on the hit comedy series, Bridget & Eamonn; is resident host of The Comedy Cellar at the International in Dublin; and she has played every comedy festival on our island. She is also an award winning comic writer, scooping a Writer’s Guild of Ireland Zebbie Best Radio Script Award for her RTÉ Radio 1 play, Stuck.
