In 2021, comedian Kyla Cobbler performed her first ever stand-up gig at an open mic night in Barcelona. Five years on, the Cork woman has become the second ever Irish comedian to headline Dublin's 3Arena, bringing her show Not My Lemons to the venue in February 2026.
Not only has she made a name for herself on the comedy circuit, but Cobbler has also amassed a huge following on Instagram, where her one million plus followers get a glimpse into her world and her hilarious observations on everyday life.
Now, the 35-year-old has published her memoir, Happy, Thank You. More Please. It's a brilliant read in which Cobbler revisits her childhood in Cork and reflects on the appetite for adventure that took her to Greece, Australia, Italy and Barcelona. It’s a memoir about her story so far but also of self-acceptance, gratitude and the power of female connection.
In this wide-ranging conversation with Róisín Ingle, Cobbler discusses her meteoric rise to fame, the life lessons she has learned along the way and the importance of surrounding oneself with strong, wild and wonderful Irish women.
