Alan Young

I’m from Celbridge, Kildare having lived there all my life. Over the past few years, I’ve interned with a number of media outlets, interviewed celebrities at red carpet events and backstage at Dancing with the Stars Ireland. I created online video content for Halloween FM, a role which also took me to the streets getting the people’s views on a range of spooktacular issues. I’ve been busy upskilling in other areas having trained with the Gaiety School of Acting, hosting events, doing my first stand up comedy gigs and also gaining experience in television production following training in TV Presentation and Production from the Park Studio. My background is in the performing arts having trained at Westside Performing Arts for over 10 years and performed in numerous leading roles at The Helix Theatre, Smock Alley and Draíocht. In 2017, I received my BA in Music and Economics from Maynooth University, where I was also an active member of the University’s Musical Theatre Society. In 2015, I also achieved a Diploma, with Distinction in Musical Theatre Performance from the London College Of Music.
