A one-act comedy about not getting to choose your family, growing up in rural Ireland, the cultural divide between north and south, and finding solace in art.
Cousins Annie and Mick are two young people in the Gaeltacht of County Donegal. They’re not particularly close; Mick works in the tax office, recently graduated from secondary school, and spends his evenings analysing data for his fantasy football team. Annie, four years his senior, is Doc Martin-clad and refuses to listen to anything other than The Smiths.
When a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity arises that will see one young person in the community train at a drama school in Dublin – the big smoke! – Annie and Mick go head-to-head to escape the drudgery of a normal life. As their dreams collide, they realise they aren’t so different after all, and a reluctant bond emerges between them in this true-to-life comedy.
Written and starring Mícheál Ó Fearraigh and Anna Ní Dhúill.

After an alarming experience at the supermarket, Ardal reflects on who he is as a man and a comedian.
He examines his own ethnic and religious background. And thinks twice about the very core of his identity as a voice of reason. Is everything a big lie? With no major trauma of his own to draw on for material, apart from the drag of getting older, he also turns his gaze outwards at the joys and follies of contemporary life. Towel Animals? A.I.? Chair Yoga? Cauliflower as a main course? Yes. Yes. Yes. And Yes. No current idiocy is left un-examined. With a highly developed sense of the ridiculous, and proper comedy bones, NOT HIMSELF, is a testament to the healing power of humour. And the joy of jokes.
