She was also a proud member of the all-female comedy group Funny Girls and performed with the acclaimed Fallen Angels Cabaret, a troupe known for its bold and theatrical flair. Hailing from Carlow, Ireland, her roots have clearly played a part in shaping her distinctive voice and storytelling style. And throughout it all, Granny O’Grimm remains a central highlight—a character that not only brought her fame but continues to define her legacy in animation and performance.
