    That Paddy Cosgrove lad. What a ballbag.

    He’s just bitter about his web summit thing!

    Noel Cunningham. If you're from Donegal you'll know who I mean. He's in the local papers every week, pictures on social media stuck at some event and even his voice iritates me when I hear it on the radio.

    Isn't he the lad who looks a bit like Rod Stewart?

    Always seems so concerned with everything no matter how trivial.

    In a way, if Rod was pulled backwards through a blackthorn hedge!

    And was tangoed.

    Anyone know who this 'Crossy' guy is on twitter? Apparently works for some radio station (that I don't listen to-which is a long list too, tbh).
    But generally gets upset about EVERYTHING. Then overshares everything too.

    I didn't even want to know who he was-and then it seemed everyone and their auntie was responding to his tweets (Muireann O'Connell for one).

    Yeah, that's him he was on Irish celebrity come dine with Brian Kennedy and some Michael Jackson obsessed journalist, those two started throwing wine in each others faces because of some long running feud.

    If I remember correctly, the 'feud' was something incredibly trivial. I think the journo said something along the lines of 'I never write about Brian cos he's boring' or something like that. (It all felt staged).

    Bizarrely, Paul Martin (the journo) and Brian both had to fight their own separate battles with cancer. Brian's I believe was colon cancer, Paul's was Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

    brias brother died of cancer during brians cancer media appearances which wasn't mentioned at all

    It was mentioned-he brought it up himself too. There'd been falling out, so to speak, in that family (Brian Kennedy's family, I mean) and him and his brother had grown distant.

    But they reconciled before his brother died. His brother had pancreatic cancer (and you've got little to no chance against that thundering monster- it's pretty much the worst cancer you can get) and I think it was known (but unspoken) that one brother was gonna survive. And sadly, the other one wasn't.

    Could RTE stop putting on that Doireann Garrity ad on every time it goes to ad break...its probably one of the most poorest attempts of comedy they've tried to shove on to rte and they are relentless in trying to push her on to the irish viewers

    Her and her sister(s), I’m not sure how many of them there are. They seem to be everywhere recently, tv, advertisements, magazines, newspapers. I don’t know why they’re being relentlessly promoted and I’m not sure what they’re actually ‘famous’ for, but they’re very irritating.

    If it's any consolation her career in show biz will soon hit the skids.

    It seems to me that lately if RTE push you like mad and give you lots of exposure your comedy career goes down the crapper- Alison Spittle, Maeve Higgins for instance.

    People like Sharon Horgan and Aisling Bea, I don't ever remember seeing them on RTE and they are flying it.

    edit- Katherine Lynch was another one I forgot. RTE gave her loads of shows and airtime and she has vanished.

    Pearse Doherty. Sneery fecker, who will never be happy with any course of action taken


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,492 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    Steve Coogan.

    Just comes across as a bit of a prick. Watching him on the Trip to Greece, and not sure if it's an act or whatever, but he seems very full of himself.

    And I don't really understand Alan Partridge's standing as a comic classic either. Definitely feel there is a snobbery among the die-hard fans.

    Glen Whelan.

    I know its not his fault Mick McCarthy still picks him but it annoys me that he hasn't retired.

    And that accent is like acid being poured in your ears.

    Sharon Horgan got one of her earliest first gigs on 'The Unbelievable Truth', a show presented by Colin Murphy where he tried to do a 'Brass Eye meets Star Stories' kinda parody. Wasn't very good.

    Aisling Bea had early roles in Fair City, Roy and The Savage Eye. In the Savage Eye, she was most memorable parodying Graine Seoige.



    Pretty much HAVE to do something in IReland, to pay the bills and so on.

    They didn't get anything like the same level of exposure and promotion as the duds who got their own shows. They got documentaries, Lynch was given reality tv gigs when her comedy started to fizzle out, Higgins even got a cookery show! The duds were all over the RTE guide too.


    It seems like Horgan and Bea were given work by Murphy and McSavage personally rather than being mentored by the powers that be like the others. If I was Ms McGarrity I would learn from the past and jump ship while she still has a career to salvage.

    she needs a new trick/joke as just putting on the same mimicking voice and a wig for every impression (judging from her ad showreel and insta), doesn't make you an impressionist/comedian...but sure nepotism gets you far in rte and i seriously believe RTE are deluded and think that the BBC/UK/USA would "poach" their "talent"

    We’d want to be careful she doesn’t catch Coronavirus because she’ll make a show on it.

    And appears in the Daily Mail today with full picture of her child . Apparently she can’t leave him and brings him to work 🙄

    he's acting, he's an actor he doesn't really go on trips like that it's a tv show made for tv he got paid
