This episode we have Monaghan based Stand-up Gerard Ryan. Gerard was only early
into the start of gigging when lock down shut down all the comedy rooms on the
island of Ireland.
We discuss what it has been like to have a creative urge to perform while being
stuck away from audiences. Also the comedy gold that is created in Ireland when
you move to a different county. Also, when recorded, the Dave Chappelle
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Chappelle] special, The Closer
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Closer_(2021_film)], had just come out. It
has led to some animating discussions on the likes of Facebook and what is and
isn’t acceptable topics for comedy.
