Since first coming to prominence in John Player Tops, June has
become a household name and a great favourite of young and old
alike. Film work includes appearing alongside Angelica Houston in
Agnes Browne, On the Nose with Robbie Coletraine and One Step
Back starring Patrick Bergin and Brendan O’Carroll. Her television work includes a
guest appearance in the 2009 series of the RTE medical drama The Clinic. June also hosted a radio
programme on the history of variety theatre on the RTE radio documentary series Different
Stages. She has also appeared many times on The Late Late Show, and has even been brave
enough to be a guest of Podge and Rodge! More recently she has become a regular guest on Joe
Duffy’s “Funny Fridays” on RTE One’s Liveline programme.
Her DVD “Whatever!”, with guest appearances by Derek Mooney, on whose show June is a
regular contributor, Senator David Norris and celebrity gardener Dermot O’Neill, was a top seller
over Christmas 2008 and featured prominently in the Irish charts.
The theatre stage is, however, June’s first love. She took a leading role for six successive seasons
in Ireland’s premier pantomime at The Gaiety Theatre and in recent years moved to The Olympia
Theatre in the production of Cinders and Jack and the Beanstalk. She gave a hilarious
performance in the stage musical version of The Full Monty at The Olympia Theatre and on tour,
and played the part of Edith in the Pirates of Penzance at the Helix.
