Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

Simone Kirby: putting County Clare on the big and small screen map (Kneecap / Peaky Blinders / Calm With Horses) #619

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by absolute Irish acting royalty SIMONE KIRBY!


A rare treat here with the wonderful Simone catching up and checking in with Pip, in a celebration of so much of what makes the performances we see what they are. Simone's been putting in work on the stage and screen for a minute, and you will have surely witnessed her greatness in such projects as the ones in the episode title (and a cursory glance on IMDB), but it's always a valuable gift to hear about the life behind the lines. From growing up in County Clare and her origin story, to making it through the ranks of the acting path, as well as what a future in theatre could have looked like, moving to London, working with her husband and child, and an audition concluding with a simple note to tone down the Bond. How about that. Enjoy Simone, and catch up with the shows and projects she's involved in.
