A podcast (available every Monday on the Headstuff Podcast Network) poking a long overdue funny bone at Joe Duffy’s Liveline, The Adrian Kennedy Phoneshow and its ilk.
Created by Dave Coffey ((Dan & Becs, Sarah + Steve) and featuring a weekly panel of Ireland’s rising comedy, improv and acting stars.
And it’s completely improvised.
Dave writes:
When I introduce my guests, they have no idea what they’re about to complain about, so they have to be really quick on their feet….
Phoning It In’ and other online comedy podcasts are providing an important space for homegrowen hilarity, says Dave:
“The Republic of Telly is gone, The Panel is a distant memory. Podcasts are the go-to place for great Irish comedy these days….
FIGHT!
Listen here
‘poking a long overdue funny bone at…’
Oh dear
I seem to recall David McSavage, amongst others, having a bit of a go.
At comedy..?
Ah no Sheik I just meant the piss poor English of the blurb there
yea Tony, but Sheiks point is far better. You’re just correcting exam papers, whereas he makes a good point about Joe Duffy being poked fun of numerous times by comedians.
You’re right. Dammit you’re always right. God bless you Doctor Fart.
Savage eye was savage good
Let’s all sneer at the ordinary people of Ireland .
Glad the Panel is gone, it was full of homophobia.
Adrian Kennedy. Ugh
completely improvised = bad
it also means that if someone lands on something remotely funny they all lose their minds
Ah now. In my youth we used to call in the local (pirate) radio stations and do this live – to a real DJ.
Ah those were the days.
