Sharon Horgan Reveals the Heart of Irish Wit | Fill Your Heart With Ireland

Sharon Horgan shares what fills her heart about Ireland—and why Irish people are the funniest in the world. Growing up surrounded by humor, Sharon recalls her dad, her nan, and even an uncle who claimed he was the first Irishman to eat a chow mein (and was friends with Elvis!).

She reflects on the quirks that make Ireland unique: saying thank you when getting off the bus, greeting strangers on the street, and leaving the light on as a sign that everyone is welcome. For Sharon, being called “a character” is the ultimate compliment—because as a writer, characters are what stay with you long after the story fades.

Ireland is a land of warmth, humor, and unforgettable personalities. From everyday gestures of kindness to the vibrant storytelling tradition, Irish culture is built on connection and character. Sharon Horgan’s reflections capture the essence of what makes Ireland so special—where laughter is part of life and everyone has a story worth telling.
