Who Is Daragh Twomey?
Daragh Twomey is a Cork-based writer, director, actor, and videographer making Irish sketch comedy at internet speed.
He posts under Yer Maan on YouTube, but the project is bigger than the handle. Twomey writes, performs, directs, shoots, and edits his own work, which gives the sketches a handmade rhythm without making them feel small. His public bio calls him a writer, director, actor, videographer, and “overall silly man.” That last part explains plenty.
Twomey started making sketch comedy in 2017 after graduating from Munster Technological University with a BA in Multimedia. His site traces the habit even further back to LEGO stop-motion films in 2007, which fits the work now. Quick premise, fast escalation, clean edit, no wasted movement. The old DIY instinct is still there.
His sketches pull from absurdism, slapstick, and everyday situations that get out of hand. A normal moment takes one wrong turn, then another, and suddenly everyone is behaving like the world has already ended.
The work has a specific Irish social rhythm. Not postcard Irish. Embarrassment, impatience, politeness, and discomfort keep turning into performance. Twomey is good at characters trying to stay normal while clearly losing the room.
Twomey also works beyond the sketch feed. He started DT Wedding Films, co-founded Rua Productions, and has worked across freelance video, music videos, photography, and podcasting. The sketches move fast, but they are not careless.
His first short film, Easy Money, is in post-production and intended for the festival circuit. The sketch account feels like the place where he has been getting the reps. Writing, acting, shooting, editing, posting, learning what people respond to, then doing it again.
Daragh Twomey has been building his own comedy education in public for years, one sketch, cut, character, and bad social decision at a time.
Three Things We Love About Daragh Twomey
He controls the whole sketch: Writing, acting, directing, shooting, editing. The jokes move the way they do because Twomey is steering the premise from idea to upload.
The comedy has Cork in its bones: The sketches carry a specific Irish social rhythm: politeness turning into panic, small talk becoming warfare, and people trying to save face while making everything worse.
The sketch work is feeding the film work: Twomey is moving toward short films with Easy Money. The social comedy is not separate from that path. It is where he has been getting the reps.
