Fiona got into comedy by writing jokes for a friend in Ireland. When she moved to Canada, she decided to start doing her jokes for herself.

She’s a mother of three. And a joy to be around.
She grew up in a family of strong and funny women that inspired her to see the humour in life. Her nana had 10 children, she golfed and drank whiskey all day long. She was hilarious.

He mom was wild, and took parenting into her own hands.

Her album Magically Malicious is found on iTunes, Sirius XM and more.
