Brian Hyphen

Brian Hyphen is a Dublin-based actor who has trained with the Gaiety School of Acting and with Momentum Acting Studio, where he studied the Meisner Technique. Meisner’s focus on listening and responding truthfully in the moment is central to how he works, and it’s an approach well suited to screen.

On screen, Brian has appeared in short films and on television. His stage work includes performances at Andrew’s Lane Theatre, and at The Crypt with the Dublin Shakespeare Society. He has also performed stand-up comedy at venues around the city, which has sharpened his comic timing.

Brian is the grandson of the renowned Irish accordionist Sonny Brogan, who played with Seán Ó Riada in Ceoltóirí Chualann. Brian is also a musician and producer, and has worked extensively behind the scenes with other artists, mixing, editing and collaborating.

His debut solo album, ‘Dice’ (2016), drew praise from fellow artists including the punk poet John Cooper Clarke and the Irish comedian Aidan Killian.  He has also recorded and played extensively with world music pioneers Suns of Arqa, including a live performance at the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival in Scotland.  Brian’s next solo album is due for release later this year.
