#40 Owen Colgan - Irish Comedian & TV Personality

From cult comedy fame to carving out a more grounded creative life, Owen Colgan joins the podcast for an honest, funny and deeply reflective conversation. Best known as Buzz from Hardy Bucks, Owen chats about live performance nerves, the highs and lows of comedy, stepping into solo work, and what success looks like now. This episode explores creativity, slowing the nervous system, and why laughter remains one of the most powerful tools we have.

Key topics we discuss:

• Life after The Hardy Bucks and navigating solo work
• Comedy nerves, performance anxiety and stage fear
• Why laughter is Owen’s anchor in life
• Creativity, imagination and staying playful as an adult
• Fame, ego and staying grounded back home in Mayo
• Social media burnout and focusing on the work instead
• Language, learning Irish and creativity in the brain
• Redefining ambition, success and a meaningful career
