John worked with David McSavageon on The Savage Eye and he reminisced on making the show and he told us why you wouldn't get away with it today.

Conversations & Coffee Podcast Ross speaks with David McSavage. Hosted by Ross Fagan, featuring a new guest each episode discussing the most interesting and controversial topics. In this episode we speak to David McSavage, known for RTE TWO's Savage Eye (2009). David is an Irish comedy writer and performer. He has performed at national and international comedy festivals such as the Kilkenny Comedy Festival. In 1990 David McSavage started his career as a Busker on the streets and underground stations of Tokyo, singing songs by Bob Dylan, and the Beatles. David felt liberated as a result of this decision, because he didn't have to work very hard, and yet was able to make enough money to support himself. David finally stopped busking when he created the Savage Eye ( satirical comedy show) with with his comedy friends John Colleary, Patrick McDonnell, and Dermot McMurrow.... and Directors, Damien O Donnell, and Kieron Walsh. The show was picked up by RTE in 2009, and ran for 4 series. Generally believed to be the greatest comedy ever produced in the history of Irish Television.

John Colleary returns for another episode and the lads meet the poet Danny Hashfield.
John Colleary compares this life thing to a football match - which is quite apt as it turns out! :) He talks about this being the second half, the injury times he has experienced, as well as the highlights. John also talks about his Dad's recent passing and the illness his Dad experienced leading up to his death. John reflects on life, how finite it is and the inevitability of death. Other topics discussed include: creative creating, going back to college, Irishness, cultural movements and identity in sport and communities.
Grant has a St Paddys day special surprise lined up for you lucky listeners! He is joined, as always, by Katie Anderson for the headlines and Phil Micallef for musical support and pun torture. This weeks show has an Irish tinge so we have Luke Ryan - our escaped Irish correspondent, Sean Ríordáin - our Irish Diaspora correspondent who you may recognise from our American special (Ep4), and we are truly blessed with the luck of the Irish to have John Colleary, touring comedian and our Actual Irish Correspondent. We are also lucky to be joined by Tamas Vamos, our Hungarian-Jewish-South African correspondent, and Paul Jacobs, our Austrian correspondent who you may recognise from the New Year Drunk Cast episode. Also, as if that wasn't enough, we end the current feud between Ireland and the rapidly collapsing UK through music with the help of Oscar Brophy, our Irish Music correspondent. EDIT: Due to a technical hiccup we've had to post in Katies bits as we lost her audio, thats why this episode is late. We apologise, and hope you enjou regardless!

We did well on the guest front this week, drank tae with one of Ireland's finest comedians.
'Do you think it helps being so ugly doing stand-up?' This week of Up To 90 comes live (and inebriated) from Vodafone Comedy Festival 2018 in The Iveagh Gardens, Dublin, as Seann Walsh confesses to his formerly consuming Spice Girls obsession. We talk Limewire, putting your destiny in the hands of an iPod shuffle, favourite Spice Girls, moving to Brighton from London as a young 'un, doing stand-up in playgrounds and garnering quite the South London primary school following, serving seafood risotto to Supergrass lead singers, saying 'LOL' without irony and of course the perennial debate of our time: Blur versus Oasis. Listen out for a guest appearance form the KING of Irish comics John Colleary (who of course turned out to be a Spice Girls roadie...obviously) as he reminisces about England vs Ireland riots on the Kilburn Road, his preference for All Saints and even dons his glasses just so we know he means business. Obviously it's totally unacceptable to record people while under the influence and throw caution to the wind, so please feel free to get in touch about how we've let ourselves and our families down at Twitter and Insta @Upto90Podcast. ALSO please don't forget to support our mate @seannwalsh on the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing where is sure to show off his amazing hair and keen ability to decipher new meanings from Spice Girls classics (Two Become One will never sound the same again).
Recorded in the 'ambient-sounding' Patriot's Inn. This week I chat with one of the country's finest comedians. John has had me to the point of almost crashing the car while driving from our gigs together with his impressions and anecdotes. He's been the star of several Irish comedies from The Savage Eye to Irish Pictorial Weekly. He is the quintessential artist, an actor, a stand-up and a musician.
John Colleary was a latecomer to comedy but he was quick to make an impression with strong clever material, being a natural at accents and impressions and a charismatic understated stage persona. His writing and acting skills particularly came to the fore on radio and TV where he is extremely sought after. He is the […] La entrada Episode 10 – John Colleary se publicó primero en Headstuff.
John Colleary is a writer and comedian based in Dublin. Here are the some of the reasons why I am 80% happy for his success. 1. He is one of the stars and co-writers of the thrice IFTA nominated The Savage Eye. 2. He has gigged with some of Ireland's best stand-ups including Des Bishop, Jason Byrne and David Mc Savage.3. He is from Sligo, home to the best town in Ireland, Ballymote. He also knows Kian Egan's (Westlife) brother. John dreams of one day being rich and famous enough to purchase a Swarovski crystal hi-vis vest. No doubt he will achieve this dream. TO JOHN!
