De Burca first gained prominence as a theatre director, before transitioning to writing and performing in comedy shows that tour throughout Ireland.

Additionally, during a performance of his show "Why Men Cheat," De Burca was punched by a female audience member.

In 2002, he founded MorWax Productions and launched the company with a successful stage adaptation of Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs".

The popularity of the production led to two additional adaptations of Tarantino's scripts, "Pulp Fiction" and "True Romance", which also enjoyed sell-out runs.

De Burca declined offers to tour the "Tarantino" shows outside of Galway, where they were initially performed, instead focusing on producing other film adaptations.

These included adaptations of "When Harry Met Sally...", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and a version of "Psycho" produced by MorWax Productions but directed by Frances O'Rourke.

Three initial sell-out hits included Tom Murphy's Conversations on a Homecoming, John B. Keane's The Field and O'Casey's The Plough and the Stars.

It is always seen as a triumph for MorWax that the show sold out its week-long run at the Town Hall Theatre main stage, despite the company being non-funded and a hostile reaction from local press.

With only six actors playing over twenty parts, martial arts, live music, puppets, singing and a three-level set, the show was a critical and commercial flop causing one blogger to write the headline, "Peadar De Burca stole eighty minutes of my life!".

It has been put to De Burca that he wrote the show form an autobiographical standpoint, an assertion that he has always denied.

To create this show, Peadar spent almost six months travelling around both Ireland and England interviewing men who had cheated on their partners and transformed their stories into an explosive mix of comedy and pathos.

Peadar has written three other plays, Like a Virgin, another monologue driven comedy that deals with the experiences of being a virgin in Ireland, Jane's Hero, a play based on the real life exploits of an Irish United Nations soldier who saved orphans in Sarajevo and How The West Was Won!

He is also a regular contributor to Elle Poland and recently begun a new column called Goldeneye for Papermint book magazine.
