The Rory’s Stories sketches now command some 1.2 million followers, an audience O’Connor cultivated to build a successful career as a stand-up comedian, author, and mental health advocate. The 37-year-old lives in Ashbourne, Co Meath, with his wife Emma and their three children. His fifth book, The Rory’s Stories Guide to Parenting, was recently published..
