I'm back from the Scotland and I have tales from the Edinburgh Fringe including a new stand up bit born out of annoyance and the most unusual audience members I've ever performed to. I talk about having my comedy brain switched on again and briefly mention covid before breaking down a seemingly cute yet ultimately disturbing children's story. There's also an announcement regarding the future of the pod. Enjoy!

It's the latest episode where I start talking about my baby boy's sleep habits but go off on several tangents before finally returning to it towards the end. This should be of no surprise to anyone who's heard the podcast before. Tangents include the treasure trove of movie memorabilia that my sister in law's Uncle had in his possession, how I would re-edit Aliens, why dog parents are not real parents, recalling the one time I met the late Sean lock, how you can get into the movie business...

I'm joined this episode by Cillian, my nephew who has a new favourite actor who isn't Al Pacino and gives us his two cents on the Black Widow movie. My niece Roisin gives the perfect answer as to why horror films are enjoyable to watch and she finds out the worst thing you can do on a podcast so trigger warning; the episode contains mild eating ice-cream noises. There's also a mini interview with Luke, my thoughts on the pandemic and where we are now and the latest episode of Baby Detective....

I'm on the road recording from my bedroom in Birr, Co. Offaly, which turns out to be more difficult than usual. I'm also fresh from a first family holiday with Cara and Luke where we encountered a busybody, some boat wankers and also some lovely times. I get a little bit political talking about covid fatigue as I return to stand up and there's the latest episode of Baby Detective. Enjoy!

I'm back with a new episode that contains two tiny bits of baby knowledge that are peppered throughout in small doses like a vaccine and are very interesting but there is also a defence of baby talk and why I feel it's ok to talk baby. There's an improvised song about love making in hot weather, some bad analogies about toast, a desperation of the eventful trip Cara, Luke and I made to Birr, Co. Offaly and an exploration of a rabbit hole video I came across that I made into a jingle featuring...

It's a new episode and I'm keeping the baby chatter to a minimum as I understand how annoying it can be for people to talk about their babies. I actually don't care about anyone else's and that's justified. Plus, there are bigger things happening like the news that aliens may be real.! I'm not so sure. Also, some tips for the sun, some improv songs and the next episode of the thrilling new show, "Baby Detective". Enjoy!

Back from a hiatus with some more baby chat but I'm mainly talking about strange and unusual cultural appropriation from an influencer who is white and English but now is Korean somehow. Eighteen surgeries helped. Also, what's going on with Alec Baldwins wife and is the Dutch accent something to be culturally appropriated? All this plus a preview of new show "Baby Detective" and some improv singing. Enjoy!

Luke Sammon has finally arrived and I am delighted and in love but also sleep deprived and unsure of what sunglasses are for! The story of his birth is one where I resist the urge to mansplain about the work of Elton John, I feel a potentially murderous urge to defend my newborn and some other parents maybe not being the greatest make me feel like i'm gonna be OK at this whole Daddy business. Plus, a new, potentially mega hit show that came to Cara in a dream. All this plus a guest appearance...

It's a podcast of two halves as, firstly, I tackle a bunch of hot takes on T-Shirt slogans and coffee loyalty cards amongst others and also a sidebar on why dogs eat grass. There's a mini improvised rap before finally a recording of a 2018 gig from the wonderful basement room that is the Comedy Crunch at The Stag's Head in which I am on seemingly nervous but good form plays out for the second half. Enjoy!

The day of the baby's arrival is fast approaching and I outline the various dental procedures I have gone through over the years that amount to almost exactly the same as childbirth I'd imagine. I also explore why anyone would want to be a dentist and whether or not they can or should be trusted and I finish my dental rant with a recital of a poem about looking after your teeth I remember from primary school. I've auditioned remotely for a Hollywood movie that will be shooting in the next...

After a long hiatus and with the literal days ticking down to the birth of my first child I ponder the very existence of owning your own human being. I talk about some weird parenting behaviour I've noticed. I about my resemblance to a Limerick man from the nineteen seventies. All this plus my short Reggie Watts inspired improv song, my lukewarm takes on the notion of super soldiers in Marvel TV shows and I read out the glut of YouTube comments left on my video of Donald Trump dancing and...

This week I'm talking babies babies babies, so cute you just want to eat them up like ice-cream! But don't, that is frowned upon. Myself and the lovely Cara take a two day antenatal class with a zoom room full of strangers. Will there be actual knowledge in this episode? Yes, surprising and strange facts about the sometimes mysterious facts of childbirth. Also, I justify having a child in a dangerously overpopulated and troubled world. Plus, the only April Fool's prank that I fell for back in...

The podcast is a year old! To celebrate Ed has a bunch of surprises and jingles in store. There's a celebrity interview with Sir Barry Gibb and he sings Ed's favourite Bee Gees song! Ed gives one of his famous lukewarm takes on things and rambles about the past year, there's an improvised country and western song dedicated to his parents, a teaser trailer for the new season of Space Notes and a tune from unknown Dublin rapper MC Red Line Lewis. Enjoy and thanks to everyone who has listened so...

Here's a very niche episode from last year that previously was only available to my Patrons and its all about the band Radiohead on the twenty year anniversary (last year) of their divisive and seminal album, "Kid A". With a new introduction and outroduction I ramble on about why I love them so much and music in general, certain associations I have with certain songs and I end with a troubadour cover of "Idioteque", one of my faves from the LP. Enjoy. x

It's a new and improved podcast recorded for the first time on Garageband which has led to me recording an inspired and pumping new theme tune and my first attempt at putting a silly tune together which I have done in a silly accent for some reason. It's about love and pancakes. There's some talk about the strange pronunciations of American style wording that is very French for some reason, an awkward encounter with a casual acquaintance in a park that left me shook, a short telling of an old...

This week i'm thinking back about the old days when Roy Orbison was still alive and cassette tapes were a valid media, how Spring has not quite sprung yet but that hasn't stopped lads from wearing shorts and how a book on becoming a father from 1995 has some advice that might be mistaken for being from fifty years before. All this plus a bonus bit of actual live stand up! Enjoy!

This week on the podcast I talk about my issues with internet 'Stans' and how a refunded ticket to a cancelled event led to some crazy dreams from Cara and myself. But before I get around to describing our individual dreamscapes I demonstrate the improvisation skills that the Norwegians are loving so much and attempt a terrible impression of what one of my listeners from Australia might sound like but probably doesn't. There's also a review of my kitchen layout featuring a Russian doll...

This week I eventually get around to talking about the latest pregnancy scan where I get to see my baby boy in profile but not live and in the room but before all that I go on a ramble down various side alleys including whatever the hell is going on with Armie Hammer and what kind of a name is that to be calling anybody by? Also for the tough times that's in it I have written a special guided meditation to keep you centered and safe on a beach with me, in your minds eye. so RELAX, or else!...

It's a special day celebration as I tell you how I like my pancakes done and what's on them. Plus, what is a shrove anyway? Did I really steal a meal to feed my drinking habit? Yes and no. Also, what does a seventh son of a seventh son have to do with a cure for warts? Can you smoke a stock cube and does it need to be beef or chicken? All will be revealed in my casual drug history plus an Irish pop classic covered in a soulful way. Enjoy.

This week the never ending continuous routine of the pandemic has made some people compare this lock-down to the film Groundhog Day but I contend it's not really like that at all and we should be thankful that it's not. But before I even get to that there is a lot of waffle and gallows humour as well as some fake religious sermonising and radio DJ banter that has me wishing for the quote, unquote normal times. All this plus a hypocritical take-down of social media. Follow me online and prove...

This week Ed talks about the horror of dog poop and the mystery of wasp infiltration as well as the fox spotting he has been getting up to. Meanwhile what online snooping has his Father Gerry has been up to? There's a fine line between creepy and romantic as Ed explains in his review of The Notebook and he ponders why The Power Of Love never won a best original song Oscar. All this plus some Irish disco flavoured German Techno and Brendan Blowhard gives us his best Huey Lewis impression.

This week Ed is apologetic but hopes you understand that he needed a week off just like everyone else. Ed and the lovely Cara went on a strange but beautiful Sunday afternoon date and Ed also reveals a mystery on his road. The outcome will shock, surprise and amuse you. Ed also talks about the cheesy goodness that is Cobra Kai on the streaming tellybox, The Last Of Us on the videogamebox and dips into the mailbag with questions and answers sent in by some of his Instagram friends. All this...

A deep dive into the making of a classic spaghetti western. But why is it called that? How did Eli Wallach almost die several times during production? What was cut out of the movie and reinserted and is it any good? Why did Clint Eastwood think he was being short changed? Hear about all this and more plus my pitch perfect Sergio Leone impression on this episode of the podcast that's designed to be listened to while going asleep but sure you can listen to it whenever you like, I won't mind.

It's another episode of the podcast where, this week, Ed finally reviews the horny second half of Bridgerton and gives his two cents on the sequel to Wonder Woman which is set in 1984. Is this a clever reference to George Orwell? No. There's nothing clever about this movie. Ed also talks about a treasure trove of old Uncut magazines he has recently come into possession of and reads from a article concerning Elvis and his love of horribly bad for you foodstuffs. Ed also reveals his 'love' of...

It's another movie favourite from my childhood, a run through of Tim Burton's funny and scary and horny ghost with the most in the form of Michael Keaton's title character. But what's his real name? No, not Betelguese. Michael. Who could have been cast, what's a scat got to do with it? What's a BeetleMoose? Why is there a full run through of terrible talking horse comedy 'Hot To Trot', a movie with an inflatable sex horse in the middle of this episode.?! Feel sleepy, get comfortable, stick it...
