In the *season finale* I’m welcoming back two familiar voices… As regular listeners will know, they’ve been guests on the podcast before, but it’s been a wild few years for all of us…so it’s time for a catch up. It's the best sisters a gal could have! Aoibhín and Ailbhe Garrihy! We chatted about the Garrihy lockdown baby boom, the Irish food that brought life-sized teddy bear, our dad Eugene Garrihy to tears of joy and we looked forward to the laughs to come as The Laughs of Your Life gets...

I've always been an admirer of Danny O’Reilly; he's in one of the biggest bands in Ireland but he always come across as such a sound guy. It was great to have him in for natter about playing GAA in London (and how that helped him get gigs!), how he answers people who question why they aren’t bigger outside Ireland, and why he used to deny that Mary Black was his mam. I hope you enjoy it. This season of the Laughs of your Life is brought to you by F&F, fashion at Tesco. Pop in for the...

I loved chatting with Amy De Bhrún, who you'll know from Line of Duty (that incredible Scouse accent and she's from Dublin!). Amy is one of five sisters, and we chatted about the sanitary towel downpours in her home (her poor mother!), why getting Line of Duty was different to getting any other job, and how her sister’s cancer diagnosis changed their family I’m delighted to tell you that this season of the Laughs of your Life is brought to you by F&F, fashion at Tesco.

I have to say that Dr. Alex is one of the all-time Love Island faves so I was so really pleased to welcome him onto the show as my guest this week. We had a great chinwag including chats about shit London GUINNESS, how he’s honouring his brother’s memory and, *of course*, there was plenty of Love Island goss, too!

Jacqui Hurley, the new presenter of rugby on RTÉ TV and all-round sports journalist boss, is my guest on the podcast this week. In a very honest chat, she spoke to me about why she almost quit RTÉ after missing out on her dream presenter job, how she and her family had to rebuild their lives after the tragic death of her younger brother and that one phrase that sets everyone off in the Whatsapp group. I’m delighted to tell you that this season of the Laughs of your Life is brought to you by...

*Pinch me* but... Michael Bublé, yes the Michael Bublé(!), dropped into for a chat on the pod this week. We met in a five star Dublin hotel and had a fecking great chat about so many things including... punching above his weight with his beautiful wife Luisana, how he lived out his very own Julia Roberts 'Pretty Woman' moment and he also gave us arguably the *best* worst joke we've heard on the pod so far. I’m delighted to tell you that this season of the Laughs of your Life is brought to...

We've been trying to line this up for a *long* time, so I was delighted to finally welcome multi-award winning actor and all-round Irish acting royalty, Amy Huberman, into studio as my guest on the podcast this week. We chatted about why a plane to New Zealand isn’t a great place to get food poisoning; how, even in illness, her dad loves to laugh; and... the first shift with Brian. It's a classic! I’m delighted to tell you that this season of the Laughs of your Life is brought to you by...

I was delighted, and also, I'm not gonna lie, a little stunned that An Taoiseach, yes the leader of the country, Micheál Martin is my guest on the podcast this week! We chatted about many things including, of course, his son, Micheál Aodh, being a bit of a looker; why he’s stone mad for sea swimming; and also, because I couldn't have him sitting in front of me and not ask, what he's going to do to fix the housing crisis in Ireland. The chat with the Taoiseach was recorded in February, before...

I was delighted to welcome Irish paralympic gold medalist and Dancing With The Stars goddess, Ellen Keane, onto the podcast this week. It was a *very* lively chat, we shot the breeze about her Brazilian thong awkwardness at the age of twelve, and, OH MY GOD, the *funniest* jacuzzi story you will ever hear. She also spoke to about learning to cope with her depression and the lessons she has learned about managing her mental health. It was such a good conversation with a fantastic lady. I’m...

I was so excited to meet Sunday World crime journalist, Nicola Tallant, the creator of one of my *favourite* podcasts of 2021 - the phenomenal The Witness: In His Own Words. In a really interesting conversation full of hair-raising insights on the crime world in Ireland, we chatted about how Veronica Guerin’s death changed everything, why Irish people are funding a new generation of homegrown Cocaine billionaires and, also, a hilarious story about exploding Trócaire boxes (!). You *have* to...

Amazing to have me oul pal, Marty Guilfoyle as my next guest on The Laughs Of Your Life podcast. We covered LOTS… reminisced on the Spin days (of course), he described what it’s like to experience the full force of a social media pile-on (spoiler: it’s not at all fun) and he explained the gas reason why he’s given up being a vegetarian. A chat with Marto is always good for the soul. This season of The Laughs Of Your Life podcast is brought to you by F+F Clothing available Tesco. See...

Our first guest this season is the Bea-rilliant… Aisling Bea. Aisling has been on my dream guest list since the get go! Chatting to her was like chatting to an old school pal. We covered…growing up in Kildare, the period/boob train (it’ll all make sense 🚂) and refusing to learn the “men speak before women” rule in comedy.
