Seanchoíche

Seanchoíche (pronounced “SHAN-nah-kee-huh”) is a storytelling event platform founded in Dublin by Ciaran Gaffney (aka Gaff). It brings together ordinary people who share personal anecdotes, fictional tales, diary entries, monologues, or spoken-word pieces in an intimate, empathetic atmosphere. Seanchoíche isn’t about polished performances—60% of its storytellers have no prior public-speaking or creative experience. Instead, it celebrates authenticity: heartfelt storytelling that can move audiences to laughter, tears, reflection, and connection. Attendees frequently describe the atmosphere as safe, life-affirming, and magical — even therapeutic. What started in Dublin now spans across the world — with events held in London, Amsterdam, Belfast, Sydney, Melbourne, Cape Town, New York, and beyond. The platform continues to grow steadily.
