- Oonagh Keating is fascinated with politics because it’s the only soap opera where Peggy Mitchell could triple the cost of your mortgage in an afternoon.
- Her obsession with Columbo has yet to earn her a spot on Mastermind, but makes watching old films with her impossible as she insists on pointing out Columbo actors.
- Writing about viral content and comedy has ruined her targeted ads forever.
Experience
Oonagh has dabbled in writing for money since the 1980s, but finally gave up her Olympic cycling dreams and turned fully professional in 2013 – partly because she doesn’t own a bike. Her writing work includes jokes for greetings cards, ghostwriting food and travel blogs and at least three articles entitled ‘What has the EU ever done for us?’. She was offered two weeks’ work at the Poke in 2018 and has refused to leave ever since.Education
Oonagh graduated with a BA (Hons) in Maths Education from Liverpool Hope University.Weird World
