I’ve never see a show as awful, this is worse than republic of telly and naked camera combined, she’s very little talent

Well I got a great laugh out of it, when I hit info and seen her described as a comedian.

Did she not have another show there recently or is this the same one?

Someone in RTE must like her.

Yes she had her own sitcom on RTE

Will I Am Not · 09-04-2018 10:11PM

A woman, overweight, speech impediment...
Ticks a few boxes for a certain demographic. Anyone that doesn’t like her is probably a bigot or something.

jesus tis bad now , im waiting for the handmaids tale no delay back to Claire Byrne !

siblers · 09-04-2018 10:12PM

I said it before but she must have the Ireland's greatest agent or knows someone high up in RTE because I have absolutley no idea how she gets any air time.

Must be filling some ****ty quota

wirelessdude01 · 09-04-2018 10:13PM

Even my Mrs commented that she is the ugliest yoke on TV.

Rackstar · 09-04-2018 10:23PM

No need for the personal insults lads.

She is not one bit funny though. Obviously knows some deep dark secrets about RTE bosses or something though.

mada999 · 09-04-2018 10:24PM

meh its not the worst to be fair.... nice to see Irish people actually speaking in their own accents on TV then fecking 'blogger' 'twitter' speak..i think bogger speak is better lol

Lord Glentoran · 09-04-2018 10:26PM

“Hello, this is Oisin”
“And my name is Orla”
“And we’re presenting a new programme for Or Tee EE”
“Yes, we’re presenting Pickup in the Morket Bor!”

You’d enjoy that, you lot of gobsheens.

BettePorter · 09-04-2018 10:26PM

Seriously she must have some serious scandal on someone high up that gives her a feckin show. I have no desire to be on tv but my god I'd be ragin if I was a struggling comedian /writer and this ****e got commissioning ahead of me. I just don't get it. She's not even witty never mind funny.

It’s a mystery. I suspect it’s because she is someone who hits various quotas. Female, from rural Ireland, not a d4 gym bunny. I imagine RTÉ have to be able to prove they support diversity etc.

It's repeated tomorrow night at 11.35 for anyone who missed the hour long show tonight. Afterwards "How To Get Away With Murder" is being shown on Irish tv for the first time, you can't beat a birra RTE scheduling.

gmisk · 09-04-2018 10:59PM

That was painful... Also Kevin Mc Gahern is the most painfully unfunny comedian I have ever seen live

lertsnim · 09-04-2018 11:37PM

I saw her on Big Week On The Farm on RTÉ One earlier. That was more than enough.

Noveight · 09-04-2018 11:42PM

Culchie Club was very poor, it's like they gave her a camera crew for a fortnight and told her to head outside the M50 and smack something together.

Sadly I foresee her being a common fixture on RTE, they've a habit of keeping on the same uninspiring faces out of laziness. She ticks the "quirky" box, I suppose.

BuilderPlumber · 09-04-2018 11:56PM

I turned on RTE 2 around 10.15 to rewatch The Handmaid's Tale (a proper TV show) and came across the last 10 minutes or so of this Culchie Club thing. Was this meant to be a comedy or a documentary or a mockumentary/mock documentary? Whatever it was, it was poor.

screamer · 09-04-2018 11:59PM

I don't get it either....awful. really awful as was her last venture into telly.

Yer Da sells Avon · 10-04-2018 01:11AM

I thought it was funny, but could have benefited from being maybe 30 or 40 minutes instead of a whole hour. I'm a fan of Alison Spittle's stand-up - but she's much better on stage than fronting a documentary. The comedian from Tralee (Shane Clifford) was very funny.

khaldrogo · 10-04-2018 01:15AM

I remember her on the right hook. Less funny than your man, what's his face? The Meath chap with the Roy Keane beard. Terrible chap, not one bit funny.

Glad I don't watch rte

Jaysus, the documentary but have been truly appalling then, because on-stage she's about as funny as a kick in the nuts. In fact I would have gladly taken the kick in the nuts if it meant she didn't get to finish her set. However I fear that the powers that be in Montrose will continue to give her shows due to her ticking quite a lot of boxes for them and there being a complete lack of anyone else around who ticks the same boxes but also manages to be funny as well.

She's not for everyone, but I've seen her on stage a good few times and always found her very funny. Seems to attract a large crowd too, so I'm not the only one. RTE loves giving documentaries to the wrong people though, which usually results in a self-indulgent end-product, which this undoubtedly was.

Nekarsulm · 10-04-2018 02:32AM

She was shockingly bad on Newstalk with George Hook, and he was worse than her. Giggling like an adolescent at her "witticisms".
I have a suspicion that since Dill Victim-singing is off the public airwaves, Spittle ticks about 4 diversity boxes.
Brutal stuff altogether.

A black female refugee in a wheelchair with a speech impediment and glasses would be pure RTE gold. She could have Darcys jobs.

Only if she is gender fluid tho

seachto7 · 10-04-2018 09:22AM

As my mother said "Jaysus, it would be more on her line to go away and run around a field for a while"

James Brown · 10-04-2018 06:42PM

Ah, now I get it...

She was a regular contributor to The Right Hook with George Hook on Newstalk

There have been funnier suicide bombings than this.
