Risteárd will perform at Friar's Gate Theatre in Kilmallock on Saturday, February 28. Out of His Head represents Cooper's most personal and ambitious comedic work to date, drawing no obvious conclusions but guaranteeing an evening of world-class entertainment from one of Ireland's most versatile performers.
His television credits include the critically acclaimed one-man satire The State of Us on RTÉ and the cult travel series Chasing the Lions. Risteárd most recently starred in Quiz which is now streaming on Netflix.
As an actor, Risteárd's extensive stage career includes the titular role in Uncle Vanya at Smock Alley Theatre ("His comic timing is exceptional, as ever… allows him to flex a different set of acting muscles" Sunday Independent), Henry Higgins in Pygmalion at the Abbey Theatre, and Juno and the Paycock at the National Theatre, London.
