Tommy Tiernan is, without a doubt, Ireland's most successful comedian and in the first instalment of this very special two-part interview of an Irishman Abroad he sits down with Jarlath in front of a live audience at the Vodafone Comedy Carnival to discuss his life and career. In what is possibly one of the most revealing and personal interviews with Tommy, he opens up to Jarlath about his years of self-loathing, huge regrets and the loneliness that he feels in places where he is unknown.   Tommy also speaks about the media's ruling in Ireland, finding wisdom in laziness, his stubborn confidence, feeling trapped financially and why he believes improvisational comedy is his true calling.    To access this episode in full and to hear all of our episodes in full each week, visit www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad and sign up for just the price of a pint every month.

'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).

**The Alison Spittle Show – Episode 59 – Mattie Murphy and Michael O'Sullivan** In Episode 59 – the last ever podcast recorded at Alison's Smithfield mansion – Alison talks to two men she met in the supermarket who have a film-script-worthy story. Mattie and Michael worked together at Eircom for 30 years. Last year, they got married. But it's not all quite what it seems. In 2017, Mattie was diagnosed with joint-cell arthritis and suffered partial blindness. At the same time, Michael lost his apartment and didn't have a place to stay. Mattie asked Michael to move in with him to help care for him, 'killing two birds with one stone', as it were. He decided to leave Michael his house when he dies as a way of paying him back. It was all going fine until Mattie told Joe Duffy their plan to get married as a way of avoiding inheritance tax. Alison Spittle does stand-up comedy all the time because there's no money in it.

No doubt many of you who are into podcasts are well aware of Jarlath Regan. His show 'An Irishman abroad' hit the ground running when his first episode topped the iTunes charts, and since then he's gone from strength to strength, interviewing people like Boy George, Niall Quinn, Aidan Gillen and loads more. Jarlath was in town last week for the Vodafone Comedy Festival where he recorded his latest shows (a two parter with Tommy Tiernan), and he was kind enough to come to the Castaway studios for a good chat about his life as a stand-up comedian and as a podcaster – roles that he views as quite separate from each other. We discuss why he moved into the world of comedy after a career in graphic design didn't fulfill him, how and why he started the podcast, his process in preparing for interviews, and loads more. If you're a podcast junkie, this is going to be one you'll really enjoy. You can find Jarlath on Twitter @Jarlath and you can subscribe to An Irishman Abroad on iTunes. As ever, hope you enjoy the show. If you like it, a rating or a review (or both!) on iTunes would be greatly appreciated.
