It sounds like the set up to a joke (an outdated one at that): where do you find an Irish actor in London? Well, the punchline, according to Máiréad Tyers, the charismatic lead in Disney+ show Extraordinary, really is: in an Irish pub.
“I knew that there were Irish actor groups in London when I moved here,” Tyers, who is from Cork, says. “I was like, ‘Oh, how do I get in?’ I've met multiple actors now where it's kind of a case of, ‘Right, who's around on Friday?’ and going to the pub.” And they really do look for the the best Irish pubs to meet in. “It feels like a taste of home.”
