Tara Flynn (born 1969) is an Irish actress and writer. She was a member of The Nualas.
Career
Flynn has written three satirical books: You're Grand: The Irishwoman's Secret Guide to Life, Giving Out Yards: The Art of Complaint, Irish Style and Rage-In: Trolls and Tribulations of Modern Life
She was a founding member (with Sue Collins and Anne Gildea) of comedy singing group "The Nualas".
She is a voice artist and was the voice of Molly in RTE's The Morbegs.
She uses satire for activism, as in YouTube sketches such as "Racist B&B", "Armagayddon" and "The Case for Mammy / Daddy Marriage".
In 2010 she brought a one-woman show Big Noise to the Edinburgh Fringe.
In 2015, as part of Amnesty International Ireland's "She is not a Criminal" campaign, she spoke publicly for the first time about travelling to the Netherlands for an abortion (abortion was illegal in Ireland at the time). She has since been a vocal campaigner for reproductive rights and the repeal of Ireland's 8th amendment.
In 2017, Flynn provided the voiceover on TV3's remake of Blind Date. She took over the role first done by Graham Skidmore in the original 1980s show.
In 2021, 2022 and 2023 Tara joined Marian Keyes for a BBC Radio 4 programme Now You're Asking, in which they discussed problems sent in by listeners (they called them "askers").
Personal life
Flynn met her husband, Carl Austin, at a London bar in 2008. In 2013, a Kinsale man called Austin, an African American, a racial slur. This incident led Flynn to create a comedy sketch satirizing racism in Ireland, which gained 85,000 YouTube views in two days.
