Welcome to Tara Flynn's website.
Tara Flynn is an Irish actress & comedienne. She's Ireland's leading female voice artiste, an improviser, columnist and ex-Nuala. You may have seen her on TV in Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, The Omid Djalili Show, Thank God You're Here or The Impressions Show, or heard her debut comedy album Big Noise.
Tara is NOT the flame-haired fictional character OR the 80s porn star of the same name.
Is this the Tara Flynn you are looking for?

Tara Flynn: Press Reviews
"Deserves to be a far bigger star than she already is..."
One4Review ****
"...jarringly surreal and inventively silly. It’s the Boosh-like oddity that clinches it."
Andrew Collins
"Delightful set of musical comedy…wonderfully twisted…had her audience in stitches...well worth seeing"
ThreeWeeks
"Well written and funny… very entertaining"
Australian Comedy Review
"Reminds me of NYC Antifolker Phoebe Kreutz - both play ‘funny songs’ but through the sub-text and performance style reveal a vulnerability and open-approach to life that elevates their work and makes what they do as valid as so-called ‘regular songs’. Smart, funny and a real treat!"
Lach
"...refreshingly testosterone-free comedy zone that still has balls..."
The Stage
"You could listen to the lovely Ms Flynn all night"
Chortle
"Impossible to dislike"
Glasgow Herald

I’ve been really lucky to be put in touch with a fantastic director named Chris Lincé. He came up with the concept for the video to my song, The Fog (from the film The Fog), put a team together and shot it for me. He even sourced a harness so I could do a bit of flying.
You can watch it here.
Thanks to everyone who worked so hard on it on a really tiny budget. Hope I can help you up a stepladder or hold a giant fan on you someday.
Chris’s website is here. I urge you to have a look. Urge. Urge.

A couple of years ago, Damian Coldwell, Charlie Round-Turner and I did a show of covers. We took songs we really liked and made them over. We didn’t make any money, but we came up with some good stuff.
One that people still ask about is our version of The Killers’ Human, and here’s that live version, if you’d like to have a listen.
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
If you’d like to hear more of us together, then do feel free to buy a song or two from Big Noise – comedy songs I wrote and on which Damian and Charlie arranged and performed many of the tracks. Or buy the whole album, if you like. We really wouldn’t be averse to that.
Big Noise is on iTunes is here and on Amazon here. Details and reviews here.
Thank you.

Big Noise is an album of comedy songs, written and sung by me, from the Edinburgh Fringe show of the same name. And now, you can buy Big Noise on iTunes here or on Amazon here.
You can buy individual songs, of course, but if you buy the album, you also get a digital booklet of the lyrics (designed by uber-talented Matt Scutt). Cool. BTW, it’s not really “explicit”; I had to put that because I use the F-word. Once.
Thank you!
