Bressie will discuss Simple Things, a new album he recorded with gathered a group of fellow musicians including Heathers and SOAK, in aid of Cycle Against Suicide.

The album is out tomorrow was out yesterday, November 15, and the Mullingar man and friends will join The Dublin Gospel Choir to perform the title track.

Bressie and Cavan GAA goalkeeper Alan O’Mara will chat to Brendan about their own experiences and share advice on how they got through their own difficult times.

Joe Brolly, the GAA pundit, barrister and former Derry footballer who famously donated a kidney to his friend, will discuss feuds with Tyrone and why people shouldn't fear becoming living donors.

Plus, there's a must-watch performance from Conchita Wurst, the bearded transvestite who is the Austrian Eurovision entrant for 2014.

Best-selling British author and television writer Lynda La Plante - she was the brains behind Prime Suspect - rounds off the night's guests.

The Saturday Night Show airs on RTÉ One on Saturday at 9.35pm.

So, unlike last week, the producers haven't got themselves hooked on Eksposay... instead, they've become obsessed with a drag queen who probably won't win in Copenhagen.

Will he be more entertaining than Joanne Hynes and her world of perspex? We'll just have to watch to find out, although on paper this shouldn't be a very difficult task.

As for Bressie - well, I'm sure the Voice of Ireland will be mentioned at some point, as the third series starts in only two months' time, and also Kian Egan's taking part on I'm a Celebrity...

Bressie seems a top bloke and fair play to him but is there any zeleb left who HASN'T suffered from depression? It's the new anorexia/bulimia.

Lisha

Ohhh I love Linda LaPlantes books

See ye later

NormanNicetouch

I've just done a Google Image search on Conchita Wurst. It's a bloke with a beard in a frock. Is our civilisation doomed? What's the point of anything any more?

Fair ****s

Mint Aero

Sounds like a boring line up *cracks open wine*

Welsh Megaman

Evening all!

And a shout out to the Argentina rugby fans!

Go Harvey Go

Not a good Limerick joke...

Harry Angstrom

Evening all.

Atlantic Dawn

William O'Dea he is fond of the shooter.

Welsh Megaman

Er...I was promised Robert Plant.

Lady Chatterton

Fair play to Joe Brolly for donating one of his kidneys. I've huge admiration for him but I've heard this story about ten times now.

ProudDUB

I have too, but it can't be told often enough, if it gets more people to carry donor cards imo.

Atlantic Dawn

Must be hard for Joe knowing he gave a kidney which is a fairly important part of his body and then it gets rejected and perhaps wasted but I think for Joe it has made him a much stronger person and has increased the transplant cause so much.

Lady Chatterton

Brendan forget about the kidney and ask Joe about cynical fouling and the state of Tyrone football :pac::pac::pac::pac:

Good God Are you writing the 'jokes' for Brendan every Saturday night?

RobertKK

I am muting this, it makes my insides feel funny.

Atlantic Dawn

The amount of people who pass away each week and their bodies could give life to so much more, it's such a hard topic to approach though upon death.

taytobreath

some veins on his neck

cofy

Evening all,

On the back of my drivers licence there is a box you can tick to be a doner, does anyone know if this is on the new licences?

I hear Miss Buckley, Moyles and Seoige are in need of some comedy material

taytobreath

wow fair play to him. he is putting it out there. I respect him

Lucas Castroman

Hey Joe, I've got an organ you won't reject ;-)

.jacksparrow.

A whole tub of brylcreem Brendan?

Atlantic Dawn

What kind of window do you have from death to possible harvest opportunity for the organs?

It wasn't that bad, was it?

Atlantic Dawn

Use of the Eff word on the show, is it a first?

Mint Aero

:eek: my ears :eek:

Lenin Skynard

That Nolan Show episode was very awkward to watch. The audience was basically all rabid unionists chomping at the bit for an hour, then out comes a GAA player for an interview about transplants.

Maybe it would be better if it were assumed that everyone is a doner unless they carry a card saying otherwise. It would take the pressure off next of kin/relatives upon death.

taytobreath

"Get some fcuking perspective" is what he says
he speaks well , very very interesting.

tis quite in here tonight

Atlantic Dawn

Brendan playing the RA head card, don't see the point tonight?

.jacksparrow.

He seems very aggressive.

.jacksparrow.

He is talking sense.

JONJO THE MISER

We started off on organ donation and now we are talking about interment

Might well be.

There probably won't be any complaints about it, though.

After all, there weren't any at all when David Norris used the S word three times on Saturday Night with Miriam this summer...

He is passionate, that's not a bad thing.

Welsh Megaman

Any wine left, MintAero?

cofy

No Skid or GWS tonight?

Lady Chatterton

Brolly was a good guest, Gaybo should interview him of his Meaning of Life programme.

Oh I agree, he is talking, sense I wonder is the after hour brigade watching.

Go Harvey Go

The Liar, a well-known Dublin landmark... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

taytobreath

I'd listen to him all night, He looked like he was gonna loose the head at one stage

Warm-up guy in camera shot again.

That's a much more offensive word. Anytime somebody mentions the crony Seanad, it really offends me. :mad:

I'm ploughing through it

Whiskey from now on though

Lady Chatterton

The Tesco advert is so contrived.
