Enya Martin | Giz a Laugh | S1 Ep. 6 | Molloy Twins Podcast

Enya is a comedian, creator, and entrepreneur from Clondalkin in Dublin. Funny enough, she's also a twin - so it was nice not to be the only twins in the room for a change! You may be familiar with Enya from her 'Giz a Laugh' social media, which has been running for nearly 10 years now, and began with funny little skits Enya would put together based on what she seen around her, growing up in a working class environment. From starting off at home, recording videos on her phone using props around the house, to selling out Vicar Street with her live shows - it has been an amazing journey, full of ups and downs along the way! On top of being a leading figure in the Irish comedy scene, Enya also runs her own online coaching business as a personal trainer, and hosts the FM104 Saturday Morning show 'Gerrup Outta Dat'. Enya was such a great laugh on the show, and it was an absolute pleasure to have her on and share her story. We hope you enjoy listening to it. 00:00 Intro 00:20 Twin life 01:57 Jackie Fox’s question 06:40 First ever video 09:46 Working class humour 12:20 Childhood 19:00 The early sketches 21:13 Avoiding controversy 23:54 Live shows or videos? 25:34 The art of comedy 30:44 Being self-employed 34:15 Coming up as a comedian 38:37 Learning to be funny 46:16 Relatability 51:40 Dealing with hecklers 53:27 Different challenges being a female comedian? 56:13 Selling out Vicar Street for the first time 59:55 Support outside of Dublin 1:01:30 Dublin accent 1:04:27 Working in the fitness industry 1:14:28 Working on radio 1:18:23 What is your favourite? 1:20:58 Free time? 1:23:38 Pre-show rituals 1:26:48 Closing tradition
