Real-life couple and comedy duo Derek & Orla burst (fabulously, of course) onto the scene with their comedy web series Derek & Orla Do, which has gone on to win awards at the New York Movie Awards, as well as placing as a semifinalist at The London International Web Festival. It has also been part of the official selection at the Hollywood Gold Awards in Los Angeles and The Lift-Off Sessions at Pinewood Studios, London, among a number of other festival selections.
The duo were sent off gallivanting around Northern England for BuzzFeed & The Huffington Post for their travel series 36 Hours In…, starred in Iris Live for the Iris Prize Festival (in conjunction with Channel 4), and appeared in Pride in London’s film #ALLOURPRIDE, which was featured on the BBC and directed by Dionne Edwards.
They regularly appear on London’s cabaret circuit, performing in venues across the capital and further afield, and they are quickly becoming a popular fixture in the LGBT+ community and beyond.
Orla has appeared on TV shows such as Say Yes To The Dress with Gok Wan and Queens of Clean on E4. Derek can regularly be seen across stage and screen, including on RTÉ, and is currently appearing in the feature film Coast Road (Amazon).
