Ó Coistealbha was born in Inverin, Connemara, where he was more commonly known as Johnny Chóil Mhaidhc. He played the lead role in An Dochtúir Bréige and went on to win a gold medal for acting with Taidhbhearc na Gaillimhe. Fascinated by the theatre, he took to writing comic drama. Most of his plays, in which he usually played the leading character, are based on folk themes and stock situations.[1][2]
