NGF - EPISODE 9 - The Irish Conservative Mindset with Aine Gallagher - a podcast by Next Gen Fem

You’ve probably been wondering, what’s happened to Next Gen Fem? We’re still here! Next Gen Fem have just been on a bit of a hiatus the last few months because of work commitments and personal priorities. At the end of day, myself and Fiona still have work and other responsibilities outside of NGF but we’re finally back with a brand new episode.

In episode 9 of Next Gen Fem, which we recorded back in August of last year, we spoke to Aine Gallagher. Aine is a comedian & sociologist currently residing in Berlin where she is taking the time to develop her stand-up acts, while proving to herself and her family that being a comedian is a viable and sustainable career.

Starting off as an Occupational Therapist, Aine never felt the career suited her and always felt like there was something missing until she found herself in the comedy scene via Bright Club in Galway. Aine recounts the struggle of pushing through that Irish conservative mindset that pursuing a career in the creative or performance arts isn’t just a hobby but something that is worth pursuing.
