About Me
Dean T. Beirne is a Glasgow-based actor and stand-up comedian with a strong grounding in classical text, character comedy, and contemporary theatre. Recent stage work includes Matthew Harrison Brady in Inherit the Wind, Sir John Falstaff in The Merry Wives of Windsor, and Chief Bromden in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. He has also appeared in The Tempest, As You Like It, Bonnie and Clyde: The Musical, and Fear and Misery of the Third Reich.
Alongside theatre, Dean works professionally as a stand-up comedian and has performed on Rosie Jones’ Disability Comedy Extravaganza and the BBC New Comedy Awards. His comedy background brings precision, rhythm, and a strong relationship with audience to his acting work, particularly in roles combining authority, intelligence, and humour.
He trained at City of Glasgow College (HNC/HND Acting and Performance) and undertook additional training at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, including Acting for Camera, Laban, and Shakespeare.
