Meet the artist
Blindboy Boatclub
Blindboy Boatclub is an award-winning Irish author, documentary-maker and podcaster, whose podcast has over 90 million listens worldwide. The New York Times described it as “a cultural phenomenon,” and The Guardian credited him with having “changed podcast culture forever.”
As a writer, he has published three collections of best-selling and critically-acclaimed short stories, blending myth, satire and the vernacular power of Limerick into fiction that is both darkly comic and profoundly humane.
His television work has earned an IFTA, a Grierson Award and a Royal Television Society Award, as well as a BAFTA longlisting, establishing him as one of Ireland's most distinctive documentary voices.
On stage, his live podcast shows sell out globally—from Toronto to Brisbane to London’s Hammersmith Apollo—where his mix of sharp wit, empathy and social insight draws audiences into bold conversations about culture, politics and the human condition.
Described by The Irish Times as “one of the most gifted writers of his generation” and praised by The Guardian for embracing Joyce’s symbolism, parody and stream-of-consciousness while forging a voice wholly his own, Blindboy continues to explore the boundaries of Irish storytelling in text, sound and performance.
