Liv O'Donoghue is an actor based in Dublin.

Since graduating with the Outstanding Achievement Award in 2007, Liv has worked with a number of theatre directors and choreographers, touring across Europe, the USA, Asia and Australia.

She most recently played the role of Gloria in The Patient Gloria directed by John McIlduff for the Dublin Theatre Festival. The show then toured to the Traverse Theatre for the Edinburgh Fringe where it won both a Herald Angel award and a Scotsman Fringe First. Due to COVID-19 2020 touring of the show has been postponed.
