Rory O’Connor is a comedian and mental health advocate who has amassed over 1.2 million followers and 2 billion video views across his social media channels, Rory’s Stories.

Nobody thought he would make it – written off as ‘thick’ at school he struggled to find a career he felt he could succeed in. When a hot tip led to a win on the horses it was the beginning of a dangerous

spiral into a gambling addiction that gnawed away at his self-esteem even further and sent him into the depths of depression.

But the man who thought he had nothing to live for, went on to become a stand-up comedian selling out venues around Ireland and reaching millions of people through his social media platforms.

Rory has sold out theatres throughout Ireland, the USA and Australia.

This podcast explores some sensitive topics.
