Blindboyboatclub 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 screen work has won a Grierson award in 2025, an RTS award, a Sky Arts nomination and the BAFTA long list, 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 Glasgow 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.
The Guardian “powered by immense, perverse energy… generating a singular music that is memorable, unsettling and humane.
The Irish Times “I’ve come to the realisation that Blindboy is maybe one of the most gifted writers of his generation; influenced by Flann O’Brien, Kafka and Luis Borges.”
