From dodgy home haircuts and TikTok dance crazes to banana-bread baking and checkpoint cheek, even in lockdown social media star and comedian Rory O’Connor found plenty of opportunities to keep everyone laughing. 

Rory O’Connor is the stand-up comedian behind the phenomenally successful Facebook page Rory’s Stories. From its modest beginnings where Rory would share anecdotes, skits and observations about life as a GAA supporter, ‘Rory’s Stories’ is today one of the biggest social media pages in Ireland with over a million fans. Rory has toured his material to sold-out audiences as far afield as Australia and the Middle East. He has published three previous bestselling books with Gill, including his memoir Rory’s Story.
