For the first time, Joanne McNally got to meet her four half-brothers, after being adopted in the 1980s. The 41-year-old star of "My Therapist Ghosted Me" shared heartwarming pictures on social media, showing her with her half-brothers Conor, Paddy, Finbar and Ronan in Edinburgh. Joanne had tracked down her biological father Kevin a few years ago, and this reunion was a dream come true for her.
In a heartfelt post on social media, Joanne expressed her excitement and disbelief at finally meeting people who share her DNA. She was adopted from Roscommon as a baby, and her birth father had "legged it to Oz," as she put it. However, thanks to her persistence and determination, she was able to find him and her half-brothers. Joanne humorously mentioned being "upcycled" to Dublin, where she was raised by her mother and father Frank, who sadly passed away when she was a teenager.
The comedian was amazed by the resemblance she shared with her half-brothers, especially Conor and Paddy. She joked about seeing herself as a man for the first time and even shared a picture of her being mesmerized by her own reflection in a 26-year-old man. This reunion was made even more special as Joanne met her half-brothers during her Edinburgh Fringe shows, where she was performing her work in progress performances.
Joanne's journey to find her biological family began in 2019 when she found her birth father. Although she has met her birth mother, they are not in touch. However, her meeting with Kevin was a success, and they were happy to discover their shared resemblance. Fans and friends noticed the striking resemblance between Joanne and her half-brothers, including her nose, eyes, and dimples.
Joanne has been making a name for herself in the comedy scene, and her appearance on the latest series of Taskmaster only solidified her talent. But her journey to stand-up comedy was unexpected. She revealed that she turned to comedy after struggling with eating disorders and leaving her job. It was a pivotal moment in her life, and she knew she couldn't go back to her old life. So she took a chance on comedy, and it turned out to be the best decision she ever made.
The star was in the Scottish capital for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where she was performing a limited run of work in progress performances after the huge success of her Prosecco Express show. She even broke the venue's record for the most wine bought in one sitting. Joanne's rise in the comedy world has been impressive, considering she only started five years ago.
