In this episode I chat with actor, writer and one of Ireland's most sought after stand-ups, it's Johnny Candon! Johnny chats about his beginnings on the comedy circuit and brief dalliances as an actor. He tells stories of his life on the road and we also hear about his lovely friendship with comedian/filum star, Dave Johns.

We also hear about the ups and downs of the Edinburgh Festival, his love of Doctor Who and Shakin' Stevens and Johnny chats about his broad love of music.

In this episode I chat with actress, writer, comedian and future author, Brenda Gilhooly. Brenda chats about her beginnings as an actress, her journey onto the comedy circuit and creating her character, 'Page 3 Stunnah, Gayle Tuesday'. She talks about the many friends she met and worked with in the early days, including Harry Hill, Mark Trevorrow (Bob Downe) and the much missed Paul O'Grady, back when he was treading the boards as Lily Savage. We also chat about her many music loves.
