FIONA O'BRIEN
After emigrating from Dublin Ireland to Toronto Canada in 2012, Fiona began on a quest to stamp out the racism that the Irish face….One Lucky Charm at a time. Fiona knows the Irish are not a race, but she cannot pronounce Xenophobia. Fiona quickly established herself by winning over audiences and has been featured on Funny Women UK, Halifax Comedy Festival, Boston Comedy Festival, and Winnipeg Comedy Festival. She’s a regular on CBC's Laugh Out Loud and CBC’s Because News. She’s appeared at JFL Toronto, and you can turn in to hear her on JFL Canada on Sirius XM. She’s a touring comic with Yuk Yuks, and her comedy album ‘Magically Malicious’ and EP ‘Finger Licker’ are out now on iTunes and Spotify. After providing the world with three future tax payers (all born by C Sections, just saying), Fiona has decided to dedicate her life to making sexually frustrated, disillusioned and bored people laugh with her no-restraint provocative humour.
Featuring special guests: Dan Guiry, Jordan Policicchio and Anjelica Scannura.
