Hailing from Sydney, Jack Kearney is an Australian writer and performer with a diverse portfolio. Following his graduation from secondary school, Kearney lived in both Sydney and Belfast, Northern Ireland where he honed his skills as a dancer and stage performer. During this time, he commenced studying a double bachelor degree in Law and Communication, alongside a diploma in language at the University of Technology, Sydney. 

In February 2015, Kearney was contracted by Éire Entertainment to tour Australia with the acclaimed stage show A Taste of Ireland. From there, Kearney worked for the company as both a dancer and writer on several national tours. At the end of 2017 Kearney’s commitment to the company was formalised when he was made the dance captain for the company’s seasonal spin off show A Taste of Irish Christmas. 

From 2015 to 2017, Kearney wrote and edited regularly for online news outlet Sportsmash. Here, Kearney developed his journalistic range, writing in a variety of styles and formats, culminating in him being recognised as the site’s most read contributor of 2016. Kearney broke away from Sportsmash at the beginning of 2017 to focus on other pursuits. Following this departure, Kearney commenced work on a debut novel, penned the script for a new stage show and launched his own news website, Birdlike Wire.
