Well Hello 2012!

Hope you all had a great Christmas and aren’t too miserable with it being January and back to work week and all that. I had a great Christmas though didn’t get to sit around as much as I’d have liked. There really is nothing like watching the four Die Hards in a row with a tin of Quality Street.

I was well-chuffed to be part of that “next big thing” article in the Independent at the weekend. My favourite part was texting my mother to tell her I was on the front of the indo and then writing “….in the nip”. Apparently she had a meltdown in Dunnes.

Meet Your Neighbours – Thursdays on RTE1 @ 10:15pm from 17/11/2011
Some of you might know that I’ve spent the past year working on PJ Gallagher’s new series. Its called “Meet Your Neighbours” and it finally hits the air on Thursday, 17th November 2011 on RTE1 at 10:15pm. I play a couple of characters but mainly Pat who is the siamese twin of Gerry who is played by PJ. We had a brilliant laugh making it. There’s a glimpse of behind-the-scenes fun in the out-takes at the end of each episode.
There are loads of new characters to look out for are Maura and Dora the country sisters, The Dub, The Balfes- a couple obsessed with plastic surgery, a happy go lucky taxi man, a old deaf couple and Mrs O’Donoghue and her home-help and a load more recurring and one-off characters. Above is a photo of Pat & Gerry as they were in the original pilot episode which was filmed long ago in December 2010.
You’re Fired – Monday 13th November 2011 @ 10:20pm on TV3
Also on Monday (13th November) I’ll be popping up on the panel for “The Apprentice – You’re Fired”. That was a bit scary and I have to keep biting my tongue so I don’t let slip who was fired!! PLEASE DON’T ASK ME!!!!!!

There are more dates being booked at the moment. They’ll be up on the gigs page as soon as they’re confirmed.

Radio & A Free Show in Galway!

I’m in the middle of prep for my show on 18th of August in Whelans .. get your tickets now… blah..blah!

To practice the show I’ll be doing a preview in the Róisín Dubh in Galway this Saturday 13th August. The Róisín is a fantastic comedy venue and was the venue used for RTE’s “Stand & Deliver”. I think it’ll be at around 8pm (i’ll get back to ya!) but the best bit is its free in and there’ll be sweets.

To promote it I’ll be doing various bits and pieces. I’ll keep this page updated when I hear more.

Friday 12th August – John Murray Show – RTE Radio1 88.2–90fm (9-10am)
Saturday 13th August – Plan B – Spin 103.8fm (11:45am-13:45pm)
