Maeve Higgins is a self-styled lyrical assassin, in her head. In reality she is a stand up lady who's been very busy for the past two years.

She has performed at festivals in faraway Australia, nearby Kilkenny and quite close, Edinburgh.

She does a guest slot every monday on the Ray D'arcy Show on Today FM, discussing crucial issues and trying not to make mouth sounds (she hates when other people on the radio make mouth sounds). She also features in the hit show Naked Camera on RTE2, where along with PJ Gallagher and Patrick McDonnell, she tricks unsuspecting members of the public, then feels bad, but keeps doing it anyway because it is fun.

Maeve's dream is to be the next child star, though it's looking increasingly unlikely as time marches on.
