Conor is a graduate of the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama in London. He graduated from the BA (Drama) degree at Queen Mary, University of London, in 2018. In 2015, he completed the Advanced Actor Training Course at Bull Alley Theatre Training Company, Dublin.

Conor became the youngest artist to write and perform a one person play at the International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival in 2015 with his show, LEAVING NARNIA. He returned to the festival in May 2018 with ETHAN AND EVAN AND ALL THEY KNOW NOW

In 2017, his second play, SOPHIE, BEN, AND OTHER PROBLEMS debuted at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre in London. The show transferred to The Tabard Theatre, London before opening at Assembly Studios, as part of the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it was performed for a sold-out run. The show made its Irish premiere at the Riverbank Arts Centre before opening for a week at the Boys’ School in Smock Alley. The play most recently played at the Moat Theatre Naas and was adapted for screen in 2021 by OpenBin Media.

In 2019, his show, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ME AND MY MA opened as part of the Scene + Heard festival at Smock Alley Theatre. 

His fifth play, EVERYTHING IS GRAND, AND I’M COMPLETELY OKAY, was selected for development by Dublin Fringe as part of Fringe Lab 50. The show was performed in The Moat Theatre Naas in August 2021, and also featured as a performance at the UN’s global Queer Youth Network. The piece enjoyed a 2021 Summer run at Smock Alley Boy's School. For his performance in the show at the 20th International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival, Conor was nominated for the prestigious MICHEÁL MAC LIAMMÓIR AWARD for OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A PLAY.

This was quickly followed by ABSOLUTELY FABULOUSLY RIDICULOUSLY UGLY - a comedy about the fashion industry, which Conor also penned. 

Conor is one of the Irish Theatre Institute Six in the Attic artists, 2021-2022.
