Not only does Huberman star in the comedy, but she wrote it too.

The past couple of years has proved to be a very strong time for Irish comedies on television. The first season of Derry Girls was nothing short of exceptional, and the same goes for The Young Offenders. So we're fairly optimistic about Finding Joy, Amy Huberman's brand new comedy series. Set in Dublin, it is a six-part series that follows Joy, a woman who finds herself in the limelight as she tries to get over a painful break-up. As she copes with the life of being a reluctant vlogger, Joy is forced to change her entire existence as she figures out what to do now that the love of her life is gone. The first episode airs on RTÉ One at 9.35pm on Wednesday 10 October.  Speaking at a special screening in Dublin’s Point Village on Tuesday, Amy Huberman said: "I can’t believe tomorrow is the day that my new baby Finding Joy is going to be born into the world at 9.35pm on RTÉ One. It is a little bit scary, I am quietly terrified, but I hope people enjoy it and find the joy watching it." RTÉ Group Head of Drama and Comedy Shane Murphy said: "We're very proud to support and develop Amy's first writing project, working together with producers Treasure and Acorn to bring this new homegrown six-part comedy show from script to screen for our viewers on RTÉ One."
