Irish comedian on tracing family roots: ‘What if we find out something terrible, like they all had mullets'
I'd often wondered if the Bea in Aisling Bea's name was some long-lost Irish surname that had seemingly passed me by. It isn't. It turns out her surname is O'Sullivan and the Bea is in tribute to her father, Brian, who passed away when she was just three.

Irish comedian dives into her family history and makes a troubling discovery: They were middle class
In her episode of Who Do You Think You Are?, the comedian is disappointed to hear how her ancestors expanded their farm following the Famine Aisling Bea isn't Aisling Bea at all! This startling revelation came as a major shock before her edition of Who Do You Think You Are? programme had even got going. Her name isn't Aisling Bea. Never mind who do you think you are, who do we think you are? Her real name is Aisling O'Sullivan. She took the surname Bea in memory of her late father, Brian. Like many people who haven't lived in Ireland for a long time, she seems remarkably patriotic. She is 100pc on board with the conventional narrative about how the Brits murdered all the Irish, stopped them speaking Irish at the point of a gun and for centuries denied them the freedom in which they now revel.
