  • Ep.11 - Q&A with Paddy Raff
    Jul 18 2022

    That's a wrap for series 1! We've had so much fun and the feedback has been really encouraging so we've decided to go again in just a few weeks - with more episodes coming in September.

    Thanks for all your support so far! We're very excited about some of the guests already booked - proper icons from the world of comedy, TV and sport - that's just to start.

    In the meantime - and before he heads out on tour and to the Edinburgh Fringe - Paddy answers a few of your questions from the bar in his back garden....

  • Ep.10 - 1994: The Stolen Condoms with CLAIRE RAFFERTY
    Jul 11 2022

    If you listen to this podcast, it's fair to assume you're a fan of Paddy Raff's stand up - or maybe his TV show. But did you know that his biggest claim to fame is that he's Claire Rafferty's younger brother? Yes - the actress from The Fall and Derry Girls - that's Paddy's sister!

    After an appearance in episode 0 when Claire was brought on to fact check some of Paddy's stories, on this occasion the roles are reversed. There's talk of an Abba Tribute band formed after some worrying fraud, accusations of burglary from Steven Gerrard and lots of praise for a legendary goalkeeper with a particularly friendly ma. Meanwhile, Paddy debuts his cover of a classic 1994 track by The Crash Test Dummies.

  • Ep.9 - 1997: My Own Hologram Jesus with NEIL DELAMERE
    Jul 4 2022

    This week we’re in 1997 with stand up, podcaster and TV regular, the Offaly good Neil Delamere.

    Neil’s a regular on BBC NI’s The Blame Game, 5 Live’s Fighting Talk and an arena level stand up in Northern Ireland - in fact, he’s back at the SSE next February. He also launched a podcast ‘Why Would You Tell Me That?’ just this year.

    In this episode - Neil, Paddy and producer Rigsy discuss how to hide if you’re Bono, which church does the best merch and what it might be like if Hugo Duncan voiced a radio station on Grand Theft Audio. But that all pails to the biggest question of them all - who’s your favourite Spice Girl?
