Ciara O’Connor represents one of society’s most marginalised communities… girls who peaked in Year 9.
Having performed at venues such as The Clapham Grand and Top Secret Comedy Club, and with writing that has featured on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, O’Connor is an up-and-coming voice who ponders the big questions (why do we dedicate benches to dead people?)
In addition to performing as tour support for Kate Butch, Juno Birch and Grace Petrie’s 2025 UK tours, O’Connor is in the process of writing her debut solo hour, with a streak of sold out work-in-progress shows across Manchester, Birmingham and London.
