The best influencers in Ireland aren’t simply the accounts with the most followers. Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok all show videos to people based on how the video performs individually, not just based on who follows the creator. As a result, a small or midsized account can reach more people than one several times its size.
That’s why we rank Irish influencers by median views of their videos (the average number of people a typical video reaches). As of November 2026, the five most watched are Paul Olima, Godfrey Twins, Garron Noone, Conor Moore, and RTGame.
Grouped by what they make, from sketch casts to beauty routines. The number beside each name is the creator’s overall rank.
Scripted skits from a recurring cast, a pair of twins, three university friends, and one impressionist.
Fast-cut skits with Olima as the put-upon one: gym floors, jiu-jitsu mats, buses, holidays, and breakups. A recurring cast of other creators plays everyone else.
3 sponsored posts in the last 90 days, in sports nutrition, holidays, and smart glasses.
Identical twins Matthew and Daniel trade short challenge and prank videos: Yes-or-No drink mixes, lying games, and “in 2050” gags. Filmed indoors, with big text hooks and fast cuts.
No sponsored videos found in the last 90 days.
Impressions of football managers and Formula 1 bosses, most often as a mock press conference or a “the world reacts” sketch. Nearly every Reel hangs on one news moment from that week.
5 sponsored posts in the last 90 days, in TV and broadband, groceries, motorsport, and golf.
Three-hander sketches with quick character and costume changes: Irish mammies, teachers, immigration officers, and office life. Written and shot in the trio’s Dublin office.
No sponsored videos found in the last 90 days.
Mammies, dads, GAA supporters, and TV moments, mostly filmed at home for Instagram.
Family comedy filmed at home in Kerry, with Derry, the dad, as the regular co-star: kitchen dances, Irish-dad bits, and parenting sketches. Tourism and household brands make up most of the paid work.
6 sponsored posts in the last 90 days, in tourism, online retail, food, and laundry products.
One-line sketches built around a deadpan Irish dad, shot at home in a fixed two-shot. The punchline is always the dad’s.
1 sponsored post in the last 90 days, in recruitment.
Lip-sync and reaction sketches in one close-up, voicing Irish mammies and riffing on Irish and UK TV. The Traitors, Irish and celebrity editions both, drove the biggest Reels of the autumn.
8 sponsored posts in the last 90 days, in beauty, groceries, TV subscriptions, and sportswear.
Single-take skits in a car, a kitchen, or a front room, with one man playing the Irish dad, the teenager, and the GAA supporter. Captions land on school runs, county finals, and teenage parties.
4 sponsored posts in the last 90 days, in financial services, cars, groceries, and messaging apps.
Talk-to-camera takes, game play-throughs, stream highlights, and anime breakdowns, each carried by one voice.
Deadpan talk-to-camera takes on Irish habits, Irish food, and the rest of the world, often in one selfie shot with the hook written on screen. The autumn’s Reels follow a month-long road trip across the US.
2 sponsored posts in the last 90 days, in soft drinks and food and farming.
Edited highlights from Twitch streams, where a game gets played badly and on purpose, often with a guest. City builders, superhero games, and sports games, broken until something funny happens.
3 sponsored videos in the last 90 days, in video games.
Weekly long videos of games played badly in character, from life simulators to stealth games, with improvised narration doing the jokes. Now and then a project at a house in rural Ireland.
No sponsored videos found in the last 90 days.
Anime explained frame by frame, at the moment episode by episode through a Dragon Ball remaster. Blind reviews of other series and a fan-animation project fill the rest.
1 sponsored video in the last 90 days, in VPNs.
Get-ready videos, try-ons, takeaway reviews, hiking guides, and family life, often with a brand in frame.
Hiking and travel guides from Irish landmarks and Alpine trails, with the route, the prices, and the rules in the caption. In between: Irish tourism work, beauty partnerships, recipes, and the dog at home.
13 sponsored posts in the last 90 days, in tourism, hotels, beauty, fashion, and pet food.
Letters to a late husband sit beside outfit checks, hauls, and trip round-ups. The quiet, personal Reels reach further than the brand work.
4 sponsored posts in the last 90 days, in jewellery, dental care, drinks, and airlines.
Get-ready-with-me videos, taste tests, hauls, and nights out, filmed at home with two friends. Chatty voiceovers, with the products listed on screen.
13 sponsored posts in the last 90 days, in fashion, cosmetics, skincare, haircare, and food.
Takeaway reviews, spice bags, and fast-food menu hacks, cut fast between bites and reactions. Lately also the launch of the creator’s own food truck.
2 sponsored posts in the last 90 days, in online marketplaces and kitchen appliances.
Fashion and beauty try-ons, hauls, and press-trip round-ups, folded into family life in Dublin. The Reels about home and marriage reach further than the ads.
29 sponsored posts in the last 90 days, in fashion, skincare, fragrance, retail, and tourism.
Chatty beauty and lifestyle Reels: wardrobe tours, hair appointments, perfume and makeup routines, a first home, and a wedding. The ads are folded into the routine, not read out.
12 sponsored posts in the last 90 days, in beauty, fragrance, personal care, sportswear, and jewellery.
We analyzed the 272 posts these 18 creators published on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok in the last 30 days. Of those, 26 beat their creator’s usual views by 3× or more.
Here is how this month’s breakouts open, read from what each video says in its first seconds, or from its caption when nobody speaks.
“BYOU - Bring Your Own Umbrella ☔️”
Almost half of this month’s breakouts have nobody speaking. Kayleigh Trappe lip-syncs a moment from a reality show, Paul Olima’s skits run on music and faces, and the Godfrey Twins’ “in 2050” Shorts are over in under ten seconds. The caption or the title does the work of a first line.
Paul Olima 10M views · 3.2× their usualThese creators post silent videos just as often in a normal week, so the silence is their format, not the reason these took off. Each one hung on a new idea: a Celebrity Traitors reveal, an umbrella nobody needed, a fridge from the future.
“Father is going to dinner with Mother and her friends.”
The sketch creators open mid-conversation, with no line to the viewer first. Adam Kelly’s dad is already in the scarf, and Rory’s Stories starts with a child asking why there is no school tomorrow.
Adam Kelly 1.1M views · 3.5× their usualA normal week’s posts start mid-scene too, so the cold open did not make the difference. The breakouts picked a moment from that week at home: a strike day, Halloween at the front door, a parents’ night out.
“We’re going out for Halloween tonight.”
Charleen Murphy opens by saying what is about to happen: a night out for Halloween, a first spice bag, a snack plate for dinner. All four breakouts that open this way are hers, so this is one creator’s habit more than a pattern of the list.
Charleen Murphy 1.6M views · 7.9× their usualIt suits a get-ready or a day-in-the-life video, where the viewer stays to see how the plan turns out. A brand fits inside the plan: one of these breakouts was a paid post for a snack brand.
Rory’s Stories: “Tonight, like plenty of parents” reached 1.5M views, 8.5× their usual.
Godfrey Twins: “How it feels to be sick 🤒” reached 7.8M views, 7× their usual.
Totally Not Mark: “THEY DID IT! They FIXED Goku vs Beerus!” reached 1.3M views, 5.2× their usual.
This table shows what the Irish accounts on this list do at each size on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. Use it to judge whether a creator’s numbers are strong for their tier.
| Tier | Followers | Median views | Engagement | Posts a week | Sponsored posts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mid | 100K to 500K | 175K | 1.7% | 3.3 | 31% |
| Macro | 500K to 2M | 242K | 5.1% | 1.9 | 21% |
| Mega | Over 2M | 772K | 4.4% | 2.3 | 4% |
The figures are medians across these 18 accounts, from each account’s recent videos. “Sponsored posts” is the share of posts in the 90 days to Nov 6, 2026, that carry a paid-partnership or paid-promotion label or a stated sponsor, or are part of a brand campaign.
For a brand or an agency hiring Irish creators, four checks matter more than the follower count.
An Irish creator’s biggest audience can be in the UK or the US, above all for sketches with no Irish references in them. Ask for the audience split by country, and weigh it against where you sell. Do not assume it from the accent.
Some creators here have their biggest following on TikTok and reach more people a post on Instagram. Ask for recent views on each platform before you decide where the campaign runs.
Sketch creators write a paid product into the joke; lifestyle creators show it as part of a routine. Look at their last few sponsored posts beside their usual ones. A good fit keeps close to the usual views.
The CCPC and the ASAI ask that every commercial post starts with #Ad, or #Fógra in Irish, and that posts for a creator’s own brand carry the label too. Put the label in the brief, so nobody has to fix a post after it is up.
We identified and ranked these creators by searching hundreds of thousands of top-performing posts on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok from Ireland with Klint.
We rank by median views across each creator’s recent videos, so one viral post can’t lift an account up the list. Only creators who grew up in Ireland and live in the Republic of Ireland now are counted, and only for their own videos, not for TV, music, or sport.

As of November 2026 the top five Irish influencers by median views are Paul Olima, Godfrey Twins, Garron Noone, Conor Moore, and RTGame.
By followers, Adam Kelly of 2BIGLUGS, with 4.9M followers on TikTok for dad-and-son sketches. His Instagram Reels now reach more people a post, so he is listed there. Of the creators listed under TikTok, Charleen Murphy has the highest median views.
Instagram carries 11 of the 18, YouTube 5, and TikTok 2: each creator sits wherever a typical recent video reaches the most people. YouTube holds the gaming, anime, and long sketch channels.
This list counts creators who grew up in Ireland and live in the Republic of Ireland now. Jacksepticeye lives in England, and John Nellis is from County Down, in Northern Ireland.
By hand, start with the creators your customers already follow and tag, then search Instagram and TikTok for Irish places, slang, and county names. Or let Klint run it: ask for “Irish food creators under 500K followers” and it returns creators ranked by their recent views.
It depends on the platform, the number of videos, how long the brand can reuse them, and whether the creator writes a sketch around the product. Many of these creators list a management agency in their bio, so the brief usually goes there first.
Yes. Any creator can ask to be taken off Klint’s lists, and the request applies to every page they would otherwise appear on.
