<p>Legend of the Irish comedy scene Deirdre O'Kane joined us this week - She talked about learning that comedy was a script, not just improvised on stage and how she began writing jokes immediately after that realisation. One of the first women on the scene, Deirdre was doing well, but nearly quit after a particularly bad show - Until a sign from the universe in the form of the iconic Billy Connolly. </p><p>She told us how the world of stand up has evolved, what her dream role is and why comedy classics like Intermission are not as easy to make as you might think. </p><p>We also learned more about Terry in this episode - Namely, that he's never seen Intermission and that he doesn't know who Billy Connolly is.</p><p>This episode was sponsored by Rightstyle Furniture - RIGHT PRICE, RIGHT STYLE, RIGHT NOW.

<p>An innocent listener question asking Terence to imagine his tour of Dublin's best sites brings up some a bad memory of causing a mass evacuation in Sean MacDermott street baths.</p><p>The lads praise the taxi drivers who found new ways around the city when the tractors took over, and give an update on the car that’s been bought, paid for, but still never driven.</p><p>And it doesn't take long for the accusations to start flying and hostilities to build as the real grafters reveal themselves.</p><p>Comment to let us know where you're from and whether you add an 'a' or an 'o' to the end of a nickname, or send us an email to <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p>
