Advertise on podcast: Finding Ireland Funny

Chatting about all sorts over a sandwich and a cup of tea.

G'day again! Been a while..... I had been streaming live via YouTube as my podcasts, but, well...... Listen and you'll see.

Recorded via Zoom video and uploaded to YouTube in April 2020. Aussie writer and comedian Mama Duck chats to Irish comedian and cocreator of Paddyshack Comedy Club in Galway, Ian Burke. Before Covid, Ian was a performer around the Irish comedy scene, scoring success in stand up comic competitions and was employed by Galway 2020, the year long Arts and Culture Festival being hosted by Ireland. An unquarantined island and a grossly mismanaged pandemic overseen by a greedy inept government who locked down Irish people in their homes but left the airports open for Americans and the NI borders unattended soon saw the craic cancelled from Coast to Coast and Ian, like most millennials, unemployed and living back with his parents. At least he can see the funny side.... Or at least we could still the funny side back at the beginning of 2020.

Recorded on the day of the inauguration of Joseph Biden Jnr as the 46th President of the United States and after watching Garth Brooks sing Amazing Grace to a live international audience during a global pandemic.

Just Me.... And 11 Great Danes!

Owen Colgan, Irish sex bomb and actor of note (RTE's Around the Fire, Netflix series/film Hardy Bucks) yacks it up with Aussie BBW and female comic, Mama Duck in a TOFTB, confession is good for the soul, romp of repartee and unrelated anecdotes in the podcast most of Ireland is saying is better than Colgan's solo stuff "because it's got Mama Duck in it even if he's got, like, a kajillion followers on social media with his face all over the world and he's probably on a daycent wage with the Paddy Power ads and all but seriously she's bold, like, the things she comes out with, pretty sure they're on the wacky baccy out there in culchie land, the lucky picks, it being summer and all and us in lockdown here the last three months and nothing to do but listen to fecking podcasts but this one's really good, it's nice to have a woman's opinion as well as his, for all that he's a funny c*nt and put the kettle on, would yer?" A podcast best listened to in a dimmed room while positively visualising two comedians exploring the meaning of life beneath an Irish sky in a green summer by a salmon river as they gaze over the majestic wind turbines powering a Republic while the donkeys in the next field graze rich sweet grass and the breeze stirs the oak trees in the remote wilderness of Mayo. You'd hardly know there's a pandemic going on.

Irish actor, writer and comedian Owen Colgan (Netflix series Hardy Bucks and RTE's Around The Fire) rejoins Aussie comedian Mama Duck (largely unseen on her own YouTube channel) to ponder the #MeToo movement as social media revelations affect the stand up comedy scene in Ireland. The Irish comedy scene is rife with booze, drugs, dirty jokes.... It can seem like a man's world, especially when even the audiences are straight out of lad's mags. Why are female comics moving to England and making assault accusations on twitter? What part does personal responsibility play in perpetuating rape culture? Are people losing their ability to distinguish between reality and reality TV now that a washed up reality TV host has been affecting everyone's reality since the Electoral College put him in the White House? Why is Mama Duck equating her boobs with her nose as topic of discussion not acceptable in polite conversation? Will Owen Colgan be swept up in the Hollywood dream and leave Mama Duck talking to herself in Mayo? All the podcasts are on YouTube, apple podcasts, spreaker, Spotify etc for your listening pleasure.

Hardy Bucks heartthrob, the Irish writer, actor and comedian Owen Colgan, joins bawdy Aussie comedian Mama Duck to continue their search for meaning in Mayo, Ireland in 2020. As America burns under Trump's autocracy, Americans and the developed world are reaching flashpoint - the deconstruction of systemic injustices dating from colonial invasion is only beginning........ meanwhile, does anyone remember we're in a pandemic and the ice caps are melting? Or are we too busy watching nostalgic kids' programmes on Netflix and ordering Kardashian merchandise from Amazon to even remember that Jeff Bezos makes Trump look like St Francis of Assisi and Rupert Murdoch makes them both look like The Blessed Virgin and her Infant? Recorded June 2020 in the great outdoors, by a river, near mountains, with gratitude. Thanks to The Fenian for editing assistance.
