TBH I think all the local crew of comedy look out for each other and have honed their craft by travelling the comedy circuit all over the country.
Love the older ones also like Jake OKane Tim McGarry Colin Murphy - seen them all numerous times.
In my opinion the ones they have the issue with is the ones that become social media popular or viral and get a fasttrack eg mummy banter
I have seen Paddy McD live he was funny but I think now he’s getting a bit big for his boots and sometimes it’s painful to listen to
Also lots of same material.
Shane Todd was his support and wasn’t impressed. But I like his podcast, and how he interacts with guests.
See Andrew Ryan he was funny, William Thompson good too.
Follow all their podcasts like the banter.
Would like to see Ciaran Bartlett live
Mickey Bartlett turns me
Want to see Aaron but OH thinks he laughs at himself to much and it’s an ick.
Been to the empire comedy club a few times and it’s good for a different kind of night out. Quality varies.
