It'll be a good time. There's a small amount of
tickets left on Ticketmaster. We'll put them in the
description to do all that kind of thing.
I could go on, but I won't because I want to speak to my
guest. He is none other, none other.
Make no mistake, he's none other then Aaron McCann.
Would you have a middle name? You're well, Sir.
No middle name. No middle name o'neid.
What? No need.
You said O'Neill. I was like, that's weird to drop
a surname into the middle name Aaron O'Neill McCann.
I might just take that though now and fucking impressive
myself here in this podcast, ARN O'Neill McCann.
ARN O'Neill McCann sounds like a like a fashion designer but from
like Tyrone from the sticks. Yeah, we're like a stand in for
the wolf tones. Aarn O'Neill McCann with his
boron. Somewhere with a washboard to
tell you. Aaron O'Neill McCann, if he was
a Tyrone fashion designer, sounds like he'd exclusively
sells stuff in Centrus. I feel like a Tyrone fashion
designer is just I'll get you something for the top half and
the bottom half, you do the rest.
I remember going into Top Man in OMA once and they had like loads
of stock and like all mediums, all the size it was and I was
like flip. I said.
The guy was like, you can never sometimes get stuff.
You always sold out of medium stuff in the Belfast Top Man.
He's like, aye, sure. No one comes here.
They said we don't do any business.
There was a stage to the one top man first came no more, right?
I mean, every nightclub you went to, the boys were rocking the,
you know, the white top. So pitchers of Rihanna over
Daddy's own, that was a staple. And Everett, like GQ, were doing
a spread on throne man, that was a staple.
Do you remember the remember the T-shirts as well?
They would have like 2 we two or three we button.
We we've been. Oh, yeah.
Oh, that. I think your mom from Skins was
the fashion icon there. That's the fashion inspo.
Nicholas Holt. Oh, why?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then there was, I remember
one time there was a phase as well where fellas loved to show
that they were good crack. They would have a belt with a
buckle that had a beer opener. Oh.
Yeah and I remember one time actually out of pre drinks right
whenever I was at uni and like it was just it was like a friend
of a friend type scenario and I didn't really know many people
there. And there was 1 fella and all he
did the whole night was smoke rollies.
Like he was just rolling up rollies and never got smoked.
I don't know if he was like you know the way Snoop Dogg has some
would roll his rafer for him. I feel like there was a guy that
had lamb that was just paying this fella to roll rollies and
then eventually this girl was like walking around she was like
God is there a bottle opener anywhere?
And he rose from the sate and just stuck his crotch forward
and goes. I work away presenting his
fucking bottle opener belt buckle.
I remember a guy being on a Christmas do when I worked in a
restaurant and there was a guy with a belt buckle that had an
LED display that he could programme.
Oh yeah. And looking over at one point
and he was like. Sorry, Foster.
He was not, he was not good. Crack this guy, right?
So it's not like he was like putting funny messages on it.
I remember at one point he's just like a dull guy with a
light up LED belt that he could programme messages to.
At one point he was having a serious conversation with with
someone. I looked over on him and his
belt was just flashing, banter rolling across.
It's like having a dead serious. Comment I hope that guy got the
soul sucked out of him that night because.
Man, it's good to have you in Hollywood.
Thank you man. This first time here.
First time, like I was saying to foster earlier, like obviously
I've been around to your dad's house.
You weren't there, but I when I get that BT imagine you're sat.
Down. In that shirt you were like.
Listen, Vice City. Dennis Todd, but you.
Remember, like my dad's wearing like the Speedo version of it,
like the same pattern? For the time I like I just saw
your dad like I was wondering about Belfast.
He was also in the same location because then you're enough and I
just took a picture of him and both our hairs were just like
blowing in the wind. It was.
Fantastic it was also is that when you looked at each other
when Speaking of balloon, Are you my stepdad?
Also, how much would I hate that?
A few my UMC games and you bring me on my stepson Shane.
Slap you in the hoop and all you walk to the mic.
You're not my real dog. Any students in but?
That photo of you, my dad, right?
The reason that surprised me because.
Pull up there, you know. Yeah, well, I will send you.
We'll put it up right. The thing is, it was like the,
the, the height of COVID, you're allowed out for an hour a day
and you and my dad were in Belfast City centre.
It was like 28 days later, no one else around.
And like, I was like, oh, it's a photo.
Then maybe like you'll stand like here, my Dallas, down the
background, you've had each other in headlocks.
You were lifting him. He was lifting.
I was embracing bases, touching. You know, Dennis, talk took up
all my hours of the day. You know that I was like to get
out of my eyes. So how long you guys been seeing
him? I would hate that if you were
saying my dad. I'd probably hate it too.
I'm like fuck, I'm gay now and I'm and the only subcategory
mentor is just Shane's dad. Have margin.
Fucking hell no. I this is my first time and like
this is my first time in Hollywood's like main straight
lovely spot. You've been in the back streets
before them. Or dad a shit the back Rd.
As I said, now the whole podcast is me fucking making fucking
your dad jokes. You know how this will come to
head is will be like backstage in a gig and they'll be like
loads of people there and like my dad will be like, he'll say
it's So what a contact. So here's what will happen.
It'll be you and me. There'll be a couple other
people in the room who don't know my dad and don't know the
fact that we were talking about this, and my dad will go, Aaron
tells people. I I buckle them and he like but
they won't understand what he's saying, but he'll just continue
to say it. Yeah.
Holly was nice. You'll like it.
You coming out for lunch with us after?
This, absolutely. I love that, absolutely.
Do you drink tea? I, I, this is a question.
This is the question I'm supposed to ask all the guests
at the start, just to gauge where they're at with that.
But I always forget to ask it, so I want to ask you.
I'm one of them weirdos that doesn't drink it online.
Yes, it's in my house like and I mean I can't drink it in London
at my house I'm drinking an Oma like with my ma.
Is that the way? Watching the Kardashians is.
It because they're like the way it's made.
Do they live in OMA? Here the Kardashian.
Yeah, you and your ma sitting at the window.
It's. Me, Kris Jenner, Kanye, you know
what I mean? Kanye decked out in Top Man
gear, 2006. I'd love to see Kanye like, you
know, the way he just like puts on something and it catches on
then like it comes into such a fashion cycle.
I'd love to see him deck the wee Rihanna half naked top for the
crack. And he honestly like when you
look at the status on his colleagues, anything.
Then Wally, but she's wearing like, there's, there's getting
away with and then there's just been like, I'm such an icon
here. Yeah, that I can put on the
dumbest shit. Yeah.
And people will be like that's fly as fuck.
Yeah, no, the the, the, we'll call it the like cardboard
looking shoe. You know, the real wide shoes
with the holes in. Them, yeah.
They're brutal. They're literally just like,
which is actually a very true look actually, yeah, sondered
about it in Hollywood on Wellies, you know, but now first
time in Hollywood is it because. Of the way your mom makes Does
your mom make the tea? She makes the tea.
Do you only drink it there? Is it because of the way she
makes it? Or is it that's the set you
enjoy tea? In I think it's a cocktail of
both, you know what I mean? Like, I'm a coffee guy.
I'm having one right now and like I'll drink coffee anywhere.
It's not like I'm not particularly about it.
And there's some. Stairs.
Yeah, absolutely on the stoop as some people say.
But like, I would, I just like ping flat weights.
And that's I'm at the stage now, though, with coffee, I peg them,
you know, I mean, that's what that's my drug of choice, you
know, winged out in flat weights.
And I just kind of like I, I like coffee because I feel like
it's the start your day thing. You know what it is?
Tea for me personally is very much like I'm zoning down.
You're winding. Down.
I'm winding down. I don't get any buzz off it.
It's just as nice, you know, Do you ever fuck around and go for
like, you know, a green tea or like a horrible kind of yolk or
I? Did for a while, but it's one of
those ones like you live in London now you can ask for it
here. You've got there's a few places
you know will definitely do it, but you you feel very vulnerable
when you go somewhere and say, can I have a great, because you
get like some shit sometimes for asking.
I was, so I am staying with two of my mates right in East
Belfast, shared with Gareth and Shan, and we went to Cath in
East Belfast. Now, like I, I, I love home.
I fucking adore home. And I particularly love Belfast
because people are like, oh, you know, if you're living in
London, it's a real melting pot. You'll get so much material.
Fuck that. This is where you get material.
Yeah. Like every day is just like,
there's something that you can talk about on stage.
Yes, we went into this cafe in East Belfast, right?
We were the first ones in. Guy was still kind of like
setting up by the looks of it, and it's just him running the
shop by himself. There's like maybe 8-8 seats in
the place, right? And one of them is A4 seater
table that we're at. We sit down and he just goes
like we just hear him in the background.
There's no music or anything. So it's a wee bit quiet and
awkward and he clocks us and I swear to God, he just goes
Alexa, cool FM, right. And then he came over to our
table and like took her drinks order.
And then my mate Gareth goes so I'm like, we just get some menus
and he goes, ah, toasties, chicken bacon treat.
So I can do your lock eggs, which is so funny because like
the states that style is like, you know, eggs, any style.
Where's over here? It's like, I'll do your lock
eggs. Yeah, I don't know what the fuck
weather will come out, but. Give you the egg metal, Yeah.
Yeah, just three ball boots. I like, I like that though, and
I like that about here too, where it is like kind of rough
and ready. I saw.
Speaking of rough and ready, I guess I saw a guy get arrested
last night. We went to after after the
fucking libraries last night we went to Guacamole, right?
Which couple? Comedians it.
Was me and and and my 2 medicine.
I'm Stan where and we went for like nice.
We sat down mail. You know what I mean guacamole
the accidents doesn't get any better for me personally.
This is like your. Talk I'm sorry to take It's like
a fast food. Place.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. But it's like a failure box kind
of hang, you know? You know, me and your dad go
there sometimes. Sorry, sorry.
That's the last one. I swear to God I've got an
That's the last one. Thing Indiana Jones, Raiders and
Dennis has lost. I found it.
Oh my God, I can't even. I'm not going to be able to look
at your dad after this. So basically we're in there.
It's all right and he'll be behind you, but.
I always look back. He's so old that he can't.
My dad's necked on her, that's true.
Never checked the blind spot driving in his life.
His neck doesn't turn and he's missing a kneecap.
That's true, that's true. Motorbike accident.
Stop. Stop.
I'm not joking. Has he ever asked you to touch
his kneecap? That's never even a.
Gig. Never.
He will. He will.
Yeah, we're not at that stage yet, but like, oh fuck, making
me laugh about your dad's water. Big accident.
Oh, we had so many. He was a motorbike racer.
Yeah, it's so many of them, so many accents.
Stop making me laugh at that. My dad's dead, so yeah, that's
right. Fucker.
Yeah, fuck you. So basically sundown and in the
space of like, there's a guy outside, right?
And he's got a, he's got a GOGOT shirt on, right, Red flag.
And got a chain over the top, right?
He's arguing of his girlfriend. He's having a bit of a domestic
but he's doing that thing, you know, like the toxic mask and
live lads when they want to express emotions.
They just grabbed the back of their mates head.
He's doing that to his missus, right?
And in the space of me. It's you're so true through
second thin bra me and you. Summer camp 2000 sucks.
I'll never fucking forget it. And that guy's like, I wasn't
there. You had fucking words for a bra.
Me and you, Mrs Henderson's GCSE French class.
You could fucking touch us. Let's cut our hands off bro
right now. Prove you're my mate, cut my
head off. Touch me, duck.
We're boys. We're boys.
My. Deck is mates.
I love you. Fuck, I'm a sore head already,
so it's probably the vape. So anyhow, basically I'm sitting
down, right? And we're having like a fucking
like, basically a chicken ball special.
And in the time it takes us to Edith, like we look around to be
like, oh, there's a bit of drama.
We turn around and see what's going on.
And then I go back to Eaton. And then when I turn around,
this guy's fully in the back of a police car, like in the time
Chicken ball special, and he's away, right.
And in the back of the car, he was doing this thing where,
first of all, I feel like if me or you were to get arrested,
right, you'd immediately, under the circumstances, turn into the
most mannerly man in the world. Yeah, well, there's this guy,
like, put the bubble down. Yeah, he doubled down.
And my favourite hang that I've seen in a few videos, like
online and Facebook of people getting arrested and stuff like
that, where they scream at the police officer.
I know my rights. I know my rights and I'm just
waiting for them to be like Section 147 and then like, am I
being detained? He was really doing that.
Am I being detained? Then fuck off.
You can't handle the truth. You're right.
The do like the do be like action that like it's bullshit.
Yeah, the guys watched two seasons of Suits and he's like,
I dare someone to fuck with me. You have known on me.
It's like you have a glass bottle broken in your hand.
Yeah, that guy's lying down with blood around his head.
Yeah. You have the same blood on your
face. Like you did it.
You told us you did it. But yeah, it's, it's, it's it's,
it's just great to be home. Like Remix?
I don't think Belfast is necessarily Wilder than other
cities around, like the UK and Ireland.
I just think it's more like condensed the city centre.
Yeah. So you see the madness a bit
more. Yeah.
And there's no like, big skyscrapers or anything.
So you see it all. Yeah.
You have a view, you have a good panoramic view of the of the
madness. Yeah, I don't know if the height
of the buildings restrict your view of like craziness it does.
Maybe width would be more kind of the thing would be tricky.
Yeah, it could be that like it's not a lot of narrow.
Buildings like breath over a lot of type.
Yeah. What do you say?
Don't worry about it. Actually say breath over life,
which I was like something like I would say breath over life bro
biting his lip bore me and you. His lip fully bleeding as well.
I. Just met the guy that night too.
It was the barge and he certain one drink.
Nobody poured A harp like that and fucking years made for me.
Belfast, it is wild but but I love the madness of it.
Do you know what I adore? Do you know what you'd want?
A show that streams just to you. And it's about an hour of
highlights you get on Friday and Saturday night, and it's an hour
of city centre highlights. You watch it from the comfort,
you're home, you're not in any danger and you can just sit
back. And there's some mad stuff like
people getting. And then there's funny stuff
too. Yeah, you know, it's not all
grim. Like there's funny stuff.
Yeah, put a bit of common age shit in there.
A love story. Like the SOS bus?
Remember the SOS bus? What's the SOS?
Bus It used to sit a Shaftesbury Square on nights out.
So it was like a it's a charity basically, and it's like a big
stationary boss, but they've got like a medical side of it as
well and they help the homeless. So they give out like roles or
if you were too drunk, they'd put you on the bus that put a
like blanket around you. That phone, whoever they needed
the phone. It was class.
I don't know if it's still there, but I saw some very funny
outside once, which was there was like a homeless guy walked
out of the SOS bus with a bread roll.
And this isn't, you know, like if you were there, this is
funny, right? And it's not funny now, but he
put half the bread roll on his head and started saying I'm
bread roll man. And I don't know why, but not
every. Time you saw it, that's still
funny. Yeah, not a day goes by where I
don't think about that. I bred Roman, just started
walking down the don't go, don't go Rd.
I was like, that's 10 out of 10. That's 10 out of 10.
Usually one of them in Cookson as well, like Bread Roman.
Every time I was a Brad Roman, you know, it's like.
The beating the best Batman. I almost lost their RIP but it's
like there was You want to cook stone, right?
He was on a road tick. There's one in Kickstart, like
you would go to it after for Nightside.
I don't think, I don't think it was, I don't think they were
helping homelessness. It was just like people that
were too drunk, as you said, and you'd go in and the only thing
they served was like they would give you bottles of water or
soup, vegetable soup. Now, post night out, I would
always kind of go to a kebab, maybe a pizza.
Let me tell you something, bro. Nahon Fox with a good vegetable
soup if you're staying. Unbelievable.
Unbelievable Sir, but I used to pull a real fly one which I do
have a wee bit of guilt about to this day.
Where I used to go in they'd give me one soup and I go mate,
sorry, my girlfriend's out there and she's fucking blocked 2 veg
soups for the big man. Veg soup.
I mean, it's like, you know, a bit of pizza in there.
It's like kind of like a cool look, kind of like seems like
they would do in New York. There's nothing cool about you
being in like an alleyway in Cookstown, drunk, being like.
Yeah, I'm doing me when Andrew, you know the Louis TV show where
it's just like I'm eating a slice of pizza.
Everybody who's on stage just constantly and said the Comedy
Cellar, fucking talking on a vegetables.
Heading into the burn Alfin to do an open spot.
I don't know what my drunk food is.
Just like a good chip. Yeah, good chip.
Something to go, red sauce, something like that.
No. Why?
But soup? I don't know.
I'm telling you, you have to experience it for like everyone.
Getting a roll with it. No, they weren't dictionary
rules now. Jesus Christ.
So what the fuck do you think you know made money?
That's we can eat bread roll man to come up.
Exactly. Do you like your time in London?
So how long have you lived in London?
I moved there July last year. So like when you started living
there, say first few weeks compared to now, do you like it
more? Do you like it less?
Is it about to say less? I would say really, I think what
it is is, yeah, it's made me really scary.
But I think I think what it is, right, is I think when the
pandemic happened, everyone kind of had a bit of existential
dread, you know what I mean? And I was just sort of like, I
just came back from living in LA, was back home living.
And then I think when everything was kind of shut down, there was
no gigs. I was like, fuck, I need to, you
know, move about again and try and like, say as much as I can.
And then America wasn't an option because at that time, if
you were playing for a visa, they'd laugh at you.
Yeah. So I was like, I'll go to
London. I'll take a year there.
I'll see how it is. I'll see what the scenes like
now. I like the city.
Not that first on the comedy scene in general, you know.
What? What, what did you have in your
mind before you went? And then what was it about it
where you were like, That's not what I that's not what?
I So what you can do is like you can get on stage every night,
but the ups and downs are hilarious.
There could be one night where you're in top secret, which is
like one of the best rooms in the whole country.
You play there and it's like, you know, you come off stage,
you think you're fucking Bill Hucks the next night, immediate
humbling. You're playing in the basement
of a sushi restaurant and everyone's just eating sushi,
not even looking at you right, right.
So it's like a lot of that. But like, I think for me, I was,
I wanted a tender date with a with a woman and she said to me
about. My dad hears about this, yeah.
She said about how like, like a city is a lot like a
relationship in general where it's like, do you actually
really want to be here? Do you really want to be with
this person? Or you kind of make it work for
reasons of like safety or whatever, or trying to be
logical about things. So I was just like.
They've. Tendered it, I know.
You were like this. Oh, and then she said.
She went for she fucking ruined pardon for me, like in the
cinema, but it was like she she like she made a good point.
I was holy shit, she's totally right here.
Like I then thought about how much I liked living in the
States, Not there. I was like, I mean, they're
going to be home where I really enjoy living or if I'm going to
try and like work on another circuit.
And why not shoot for the one you really, really want, which
is like New York for me personally.
I think as well it's probably difficult for you because got
like very good following here. You're doing really good gigs
here, tour Ulster Hall, whatever it is.
So you get accustomed to doing like a nice level of gigs.
So even if it's a bit of a weird gig or a nightmare gig, it's
probably like a good amount of people there, someone's people
already know you. So it's going to go all right.
But the idea that there you're just at in certain gigs starting
again or like. Yeah.
And I think the start, I do like that though, but I think maybe
some of it is like imposter syndrome.
We built where I'm like, I don't think that I deserve to do gigs
like the Ulster Hall, you know what I mean?
Yeah. And so my whole plan behind it
is like, get out to a circuit like New York, learn as much as
I can in the three-year visa and then just come back here and
apply that and then be like, right, I feel ready now to like
properly get into this do. You know where you'll like where
do you see yourself like living for good or do you do not even
know? Because if you don't know, I
really like command that because I'm very much I need to know
like what my roughly what my plan is if that makes.
Sense. No idea, no idea.
I think that's great. I work off like if there's a wee
thing in the back of your head that's telling you to do
something, if you don't listen to that, it's just going to get
lighter. What?
That sounds like something Jack the Ripper would have said.
Like, I originally didn't want to see your dad.
And the voice in my head was like, Dennis got a piece on him,
you know what I mean? You're gonna mess right here and
you have to listen to it, you know?
Yeah. No, it's, it's, it's totally
like if you're doing something right and you know, it is like
stable or whatever, or, you know, you're making it work, but
then there's something I knew. It's like, fuck it, why not?
Life's too short, go ahead for that thing.
Yeah, I think too, like my dad passed and definitely had a
thing on me where it was like, oh shit.
You know, you do realise kind of like life is finite.
You think about time. Yeah, thinking about time is
scary. Absolutely.
It's like you have a start and an end and this is all that sort
of exists in between and it's what you want to make it, you
know? Yeah.
So if you do have like a bit of a notion of something you want
to do, why the fuck not just but you were this?
Wing maybe that rue that feeling for you, but you were like that
before you've been like that since I know you you're
ambitious. You're like maybe you know I'm
going to try this. You wanted to do that doing like
big gigs, moving the different the different places like that.
I think you already like that like your dad passed away maybe
like speed that up for you or took it up a level.
But you were always like curious about to me like travel or, or
going and just giving things a shot, like even like when you
did the Strolenoma. Yeah.
And didn't stand up that long. Yeah.
And again and and it's gone away now.
But that was still around the time where I'm sure when you
said you were doing that, there were other comedians who even
me, it's were probably like me, like, I don't know, like because
they don't want to see you. They don't want to see it not
go. Well, you don't sell any
tickets. If I, if I had a, if I had a
friend that had just started comedy and they were three years
deep and they talked about booking a venue like that, I'd
be like, can yourself, you know what I mean?
But you don't, you don't know. You're just sort of figure it
out. So like.
And you're I'm really like, what's the worst that's going to
happen? It was like media Mandela,
Mandela Hall that like you'd have thought that mates of ours,
you'd have thought I had burked Wembley Stadium.
They were like, like, and they were like coming from the best
place, but being like. Like.
Think about this like, Are you sure?
And I was like, well, I'm sure I want to give it a go and that's
probably enough. And if it doesn't work out, then
I'll know where I'm at. But I'm not going to know unless
I book it and put it on sale. That's the thing, you're never
going to know, so you might as well take the swing, you know?
Yeah. And the important thing, I think
to an extent I do have that thing where I'm, I think they're
very, there are communities, but there are very few who would be
like in like an SSE or an Austral whatever and be like,
yes, I deserve this. I think I'll, I have a thing of
like, like, I mean, somehow we're doing it, you know, so
like, let's let's enjoy it. Yeah.
And I can be, I can try and bring myself around to the
thinking of like, no, you know, I work hard.
Like, I do deserve this in a way.
But I don't think there's many who would be like, yeah, fuck
this is. Yeah, the Ulster Hall for me was
like the same thing as like anytime I have sex I'm like, I
can't believe it's happening. Fair play to this colour, you
know what I mean? Because I have seen my penis
before in the reflection of mirrors and nightclubs, and not
to get into too much detail. You've seen it in murders and
nightclubs. Yes.
So like, you know, if you're passion and then maybe there's a
mirror in the side or something and you get to have a wee look
at yourself, you know? Yeah, yeah.
And I never walk away from not feeling great, you know, because
my my penis flaccid and person looks like a premature Pokémon.
It doesn't look good. It doesn't look good at all.
So anytime I'm having sex, I'm like, fair play to me.
And then same with the Ulster Hall, like fair play, don't know
how to serve us. Fair pit of them all for coming
out. Yeah, yeah.
But it's happening anyway, so let's see what happens, right?
You know? That's a lovely analogy.
Yeah. We poke like, what kind of
Pokémon would it be? Like a blastoise, probably.
I don't know. I don't even know Pikachu.
I don't either. I don't even know what that
looks like, no. Charizard.
Just sounded like a good penis Pokémon, yeah.
And you? Don't want to fuck a Charizard?
That'll that'll stay with you. I bought.
Bernie push. I bought Bernie.
Push. Yeah, that's Bernie Sanders
campaign slogan. I yeah, there there has to be an
element of just being a chancellor with with the big
solo shows and tour, even just doing a tour, even doing a tour.
Yeah, I think my thing is to like, have you ever seen Dreams
of Sushi, the documentary about the wee Japanese fella?
And he's like maybe 70 odd and he's just been making sushi his
whole life. It's the most.
Please watch it. It is the most motivating and
like, wholesome thing you'll ever watch because the guy is
just obsessed. He's like an actual Craftsman.
He's like, I spent five years making sure the seaweed Robin
was perfect. Then I moved on to the rice,
Then I moved on to making sure I'm getting the best cuts of
fish from the best suppliers. All this here shit, right?
And you're watching it and you're like, that's how it
should be. You know, you should try to
learn as much as you can. Seaweed.
Five years. Five years bro, but here
Italian. I'd say it's bang and seaweed.
Does he have a wee play it like a wee restaurant?
Oh I it's underneath the fucking train station.
He's probably doing some. Business.
Oh, why? Isn't he like oh is it on
Netflix from? It is I well, no, it used to be.
I don't know for those now, but you'll find it easy enough.
Like, but yeah, anyone who's doing anything should watch that
because it shows like patience and like learning and like never
feeling like you've kind of. And stand up is like that too.
Yeah. You know, no matter what level
you're at. Like, you know, I'll talk to
acts. They're 20 years deep, 30 years
deep, and they're still being like, I still die on my ass.
I still. Yeah, and it's.
Important to figure stuff out. You know, you're always figuring
it out. It's important to get that
across as opposed to like, yeah, I figured this out.
Like, I think it's important to celebrate your losses as well as
your weight wins. And I feel like when we do the
podcast, I always talk about like a fucking bombed dad or
died on that. Like if every gig was brilliant
it would be a shit job. Like, yeah, it'd be boring,
Absolutely so. Boring, but the the threat that
it might go badly is great. Yeah, I died my whole last
Monday in the pavilion. How was that talk, my friend?
So what kind of death, what kind of subcategory of death are we
talking? Oh, it was fine.
That's what the gig. Was.
That's the worst one though? It was.
Fine, I said before you would prefer you prefer hackles,
indifference, but when it's just all right, that's the that's the
worst. It's so like meek, you know, I
was trying new stuff. I should have opened with
something a bit bit more tested because I wasn't sure about it
and I looked like someone who was just not sure about it and I
was forgetting to actually deliver it in like a comedy
style. It was just me saying words and
it was it was grand, but like it was on the drive home was like
that fuck yeah, that that annoyed and I had like a long
drive home. So I just I was just an Irish
dodging opener. So it didn't.
Mind nice music at a sushi restaurant for that track.
Yeah, that's it really. She's at least you have a drive
home. I have a bus home.
Yeah, I have a 27 free home. Right.
Sometimes it's just me and the driver because it's the last one
and we're just sort of looking at each other and sometimes,
yeah, I'll have a yarn. You flaunt those rules.
I'm a front seat of the taxi kind of guy, you know, I'll
always talk to the driver. Sometimes that can be an
aggressive move. Sometimes they don't want they
don't. They don't want you.
In there I suss it out. You know, Oh well, that.
I know as soon as I open the door you.
Know I'm here's one thing I noticed yesterday when I was in
a taxi I may have phoned into as soon as I got into them out just
in case he wanted. That shot, no, I like that as
shot did all last night. Phone capture at Leon and she
was telling me about how she recently started seeing this
fella. And she was, she was, she was
the driver. Yeah, yeah.
And she was like, I knocked him back for two years.
And I was like, what does that mean?
And she was like, no, I just kept them kind of, you know,
trying for two years. And then, you know, maybe he saw
that Sushika, and he was. Like it's going to take years.
Yeah, five years for a seat we drop.
I can wait too. For Leon, you know.
What I mean is that good? Push it, push the whole arm that
way and then tilt the mic this way.
How's that? How's that?
Is it good? Yeah, he's still not.
He's like, you're saying that? Yeah, it's like, whatever.
I it's like whatever I wash, that's just for my mom.
Michael, you come and do it. You come and do.
It make sure I walked into Kieran's podcast, You're there
and we tiny bit of the curtain fell down.
He hated it, hardly. I love Kieran.
He's fucking. I'm glad to see him fucking get
his dues because he deserves it. Like he's so fucking funny.
Yeah, it's, it's just. A brilliant and it must be nice
for you to be able to like dip back in the things here.
Yeah, absolutely. And every time you probably see
it's it's elevated a bit more. It's it's bigger.
It's bigger. And you can come in, do shows,
do your own shows. But like, have you even in the
last year, have you noticed, like since being in London, do
you think the scene here is grown and grown?
I left in the boom, Yeah. Yeah, concert fucking.
Calvin, it's like the. California Gold Rush as.
Soon as the first we nugget was what you're like, I'm away to
Hong Kong. I'll be in that sushi astronaut
looking at you. Boys sound like theatre tourism.
Like what the fuck am I doing here?
Fuck the craft. Fuck.
The craft. Fuck the seaweed.
Wrap and get me back. Get some coin in the fuck No,
it's I also said too by accent Kieran.
It's good to see him get his Jews, yeah.
He has acquired. An army, the.
Goblin King, actually. Has a very dark.
Sort of undertone, dude. That's true.
And The funny thing about this?
Thing we've kind of we've created with Kieran, like love
and money and all that kind of thing.
If he leans into that, it's funny and it gets him money.
I literally said. That to him last night.
I literally said that to him last night because the more
money he makes, the funnier we all.
Find it so he's like, OK, I'll do a raffle at my show yeah and
people are like, that's so funny you're doing a raffle, guys
walking out with duffel bags of money like yeah, people are
probably opening emails to him being.
Like Carrie Coyne. What do we number for you here?
He's like, he's like, oh, Joey funny.
Like he's like, we're going to do a prank.
Everyone here's my PayPal semi £50 for and everyone's like, ah,
Karen loves money. He's cleaning up.
Yeah, he's doing fucking great. He's cleaning up, he like
resets. Rooms like.
Yeah. No other.
Yeah. Do you do?
Do you ever? Have like London comedians, like
say to you about the scene, like, do people know?
Do people know? Just over here.
It's funny because. You know, you go over to
somewhere like London, right? And you know, first couple of
gigs, every time I had a bunch of comedians come up to me
afterwards and they're like, where have you been?
And I'm like, don't you fucking worry about it?
But I'm like on their. Lips, yeah.
No, but I'd be like, it blows your mind because I genuinely do
think if we're talking pound for pound, this is the best circuit.
It's unquestionable. I think so, because like,
obviously the likes of New York and the likes of London, they've
got fucking the top 1% of comics.
Yeah, but they also have Lana Shang.
Yeah. And also there's a lot of
fucking people there. So if you're talking the
population size of this country with the comedic talent that we
have, without a shadow, I agree. Without a shadow over there, I
agree. Because when you go to like the.
Good comedy nights here, even if and we can all be that on a
certain night, even like the person who has the weakest set,
it's it's. Still nowhere near.
Even if you go to the Comedy Store in LA, the weakest set
here would fit. It would, could, could fit in
there. Yeah.
Even. Of course you've got like, arena
acts and stuff. But like, sometimes we'll be
like, I had a bad one there and other comedians would watch it
and go. It was great.
Yeah. But like the, the, the bar here
is so high now it's ridiculous. Like and.
If you go on show like people, people will say to me afterwards
like. Oh, is there any other comics
kind of Northern Ireland there? I'm like, and then they follow,
they follow me on Instagram, right.
And I'm not saying anything about what I'm doing over here.
Yeah. And then I'll see comedians that
I'm friends with in London follow me on Instagram.
And I'm like, I'm just going home for the weekend.
They do a lot of gigs. Yeah.
And it's fucking the Telegraph Building.
We get us. Yeah, in a live podcast.
And they're like, what the fuck is going on over there?
Yeah. Like, they can't understand
that. Yeah.
And and neither can I in a way. I think let's just keep.
Doing it and don't be saying. Anything.
Yeah, You know, yeah. It's like just keep doing it
until they say like I think, I think.
Like I think that. If you'd look at the.
Lineup we have over here and you look at fucking how everyone's
doing their own shit, nowhere else doing that.
No, you couldn't have a London comic come up, start their own
podcast, get a follow on and do theatre and arena shows and,
and, and you know what? That's a lot.
Of that's down to is is is audience is people said this
load of times, but it used to be people here that kind of were
into comedy. They go out twice a year.
They go and see Jimmy Carr and Peter Kay at the odyssey and
that was their that was their to or they go and see Russell hard
or whatever. Yeah, and and we were always
saying like I but for a fiver, you could come and see 5
comedians and it's a cheaper night out and the venue, like
you'll be really close to them. And you were having to explain
what a comedy club is. And then people now started
going all right, that's that's better, not better.
Like it's totally different experience.
Like going to see Peter Kennedy Odyssey on real night.
But this is an unreal night in like a slightly different way.
So people here are, are supporting their own.
And that that's the thing that doesn't happen in other cities.
Liverpool do it, maybe. Maybe Glasgow, yeah, but it
doesn't happen. Anywhere else?
There's like a thing of like, oh, they're from here.
No, like, no, no, get like who's coming over?
Yeah, it's wild, but they're actually.
Like no, these are our. Comedians, yeah.
And that, like, I'm doing a long time.
That was never, ever the case. Yeah.
And we fell into that too, of like, so you wouldn't put on
solo shows, you wouldn't put on a tour because you're like,
that's for, that's for the ones from England or whatever to come
over and do. But then we're like, no, no,
I'll give it a go. There's honestly no better.
Audience to have behind your back the Northern Ireland yeah
yeah yeah. People that actually.
Like and follow you. They will fucking like keep
pushing you and they're, they're good comedy.
Crowds like you, I'm sure you're some places where they're like,
oh, the crowds here love it, but it's a lot of Heckler.
They don't really know how to. Crowds here are so good, yeah,
like you'd think they're a bit mad, but this stuff here too, if
you're full of. Shade, though, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you know, I'd say. There's a lot of acts.
That could get very humbled if they came over here.
Yeah. You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you say.
Like Medium Pavilion, I put out a Instagram post that Luke who
was like, who runs it was like, I don't know how many people
will be there. And I'd done a few weeks ago and
give him a big shot. I was like, this is on the Omar
Rd. So many people live on the Omar
Rd that wouldn't know. Maybe I, you know, put that out.
So I did on the day of this gig and he was like Britain, loads
of people now are coming down, which is a nice thing to be able
to do. So there was people there, a lot
of people that have come to see me, but that and that like that
didn't buy me anything, which is a sign of a real of like a
proper comedy crowd where like just because they maybe saw my
post and came down, it didn't mean they were like I didn't get
it by ball for that reason. Yeah, they still judge me on my
material, which on that particular night wasn't good
enough. But that's the way it should be,
because that's what makes. You a better comic and then but
then also that's the only. Way I can know if it's good
because if they just laugh at anything, then I go brilliant
and I go and do that material somewhere else in the world and
they're not laughing. I'm like, but back home they
were they were laughing. How many gigs would you?
Say a year roughly, you really enjoy like as in you come off
and you're like, that's the exact reaction that I wanted.
I'll tell you percentage wise, go ahead. 70% you enjoy?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I'd say I'm like maybe? 40 right?
And like, I the reason being is because I feel like, you know,
when you're really cooking, you know what it feels like?
Yeah. My giveaway is saying, have you
ever seen me put my foot on the back wall?
I'm getting too cosy up there. You know, in a good way or a bad
way like. No, like I'm fucking.
Murdering. Oh, OK, But if the if the foot's
not on the wall, it's not one of them nights.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But when I, whenever I did open
for Shane Gillis, like he came off stage at Hackney Empire or,
sorry, Shepherd's Bush Empire and he came off stage, 2000
people standing up for him, clapping, going mad, and he came
off stage and he's like, oh, my axe sucks right now.
And I was like, that's what makes him what he is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, guys, I'm so sorry for
this. See.
That's a humbling thing if you're doing a podcast on the
bed. No, it's great, mate.
Yeah, it's great. We can't hear you, mate, but
it's great. You're killing it.
Yeah. Here, Jamie and Joe Rogan just
let it slide. Yeah, these boys like McCann.
Would you fucking put the hang to your mouth for Fox sake?
How many podcasts have you fucking done you decade?
Why you call me that? Personal.
Yeah, I think. People presume that every game
you do, you're like, you kill it, you knock it out of the park
and you drive home being like, I'm brilliant at this.
Yeah, but yeah, you can get credit.
And once, like, you have a brilliant set, but you maybe
forgot to do this small bit in that bit.
And that's what's in your head when you're driving home.
But that was the best that. Was the best.
I think that was the best 48 hours.
One of the many my top five, yeah, top five 48 hours of my
life. Well, that was open in for Shane
Gillis because. That's the.
That's. What we want to do is you were
like going from one day and you do another.
Yeah, Russian about that's what. That's what bro, they put me in
a fucking. BMW on the way to the other gig.
Well, I thought you meant like for the night.
What's a hotel? It's 5 Series for do you want to
do you want to hear much of A trap?
I am right? So I was like this, this was
like bucket less shit for me, right?
She ends one of my favourite acts.
I definitely downplayed how much of a fan I was of.
I'm trying to be cool, Isolate that and make that the promo
clip. Like he walked into the green
room I was. Like, I mean, yeah, good, good
numbers are there. You're like good turn out there.
You're like. Fuck, I mean.
I can. Be fucked with Paul trader is
asking me to open from I was. Going to take up, but you know,
I was like your first turnover here, might as well come down
and support talent, fair play anyway.
And like I was kind of having that kids, you know, and and
like a few jars and messing at that slip, you know, but I just
thought I just had the best fucking time because I was like,
this is this is for me, like bucket list shit.
I was like, I'm going to book myself a nice hotel.
Anytime I've ever get in Dublin before I stay in a hostel.
Last time I stayed over there, stayed in a hostel, 30 people.
There was one guy. He went around each person in
the room and he goes, folks, I hope you don't mind, but I kind
of have this thing. I've really bad tennis and so
when I go to bed, I just like to put on like a wee kind of
background music. However, it doesn't bother
anybody in the room. That's my first thought.
I was like, mate, if you have this thing right, because I also
have tennis, right? Do you?
Yeah, I do. All right, man.
I believe you're. Fucking going to help me, I
fucking hear ringing on my head. Mate, you know I had goes away
steamhorn in the. Distance.
It never fucking stops. So I was like, I was like, I was
thinking about headphones, but I was like, who the fuck am I to
tell this guy? I was like, yeah, mate, don't
worry about it, right? What do you put on in the middle
of the night? Like classical?
Music or something like I come under the hostel.
Half 12 at night, 10 hours of cafe background noise.
Everyone's. Sleeping and just.
Like faint noises of like, you know, the barista fucking
switching the hang the to get the coffee out.
And I was like, this would dry like this Is this guy's going to
shoot up the hostel? You know, there's a fucking
serial killer and I have to get the top bunk.
He was my bunk buddy, too. Here's what I've said about
hostels. People that stay in hostels
murder fans. You must watch pro documentary.
Of people getting murdered and go, oh, I fancy a bit of that.
Let me stay in a hostel. Let me roll the dice with these
strangers. I love how much girls.
Love, Murder, just love. Like seeing any, any any wee
story about someone getting fucking shanked to death.
A girl to be listening to while she's baking.
Pop a wee podcast. Pop a podcast on.
My way to work. Oh, what are you listening to?
Like, is it the Chris Ramsey's one or something?
Or like a wee lifestyle one? She's like, no, it's a guy got
his head caved in the subway station.
They cut out the children's. Eyes and she's there making like
cookie dough, doing Zumba to it. I've never done something I
don't know what to. Do.
Imagine it is to do that. That's gay porn.
Zumba compilation on xhamster. Oh man, honestly.
Willie T. Stayed in a hostel in Toronto
and Wheels. Big flax.
That's a bar. Right there is that a folklore
fellow Willie T stay in the house in Toronto and he was
never that sounds like an old Dublin.
Or so Willie T went over Toronto.
Stay in the hostel, sent for the children.
But he stayed in the hostel and he was like, yeah, I like
staying hostels. And I was like, you're going to
get your head caved in. How do you go?
To How do you be asleep? I'll be like, there could be
people just looking at me. Well, I can't talk because I
lived in a house. With 40 people, that's right.
In LA, yeah. But that was.
But you had your. Own, you know, you had your own
meat curtain and all see that all?
Oh, that's our oh you. Had your own curtain.
Oh, it's all right, man. The curtain makes a difference,
you know what I mean? But you know, people can do the
curtains. Open them.
I murder you. You.
You think. Do you know what your problem
is? You think you can't be murdered
through a curtain? Shield.
Night. Night.
Dead. Brick.
No, no, no, Ted Bonde. I'm going for sleepies, Ted.
Ted walked away because. The young man had his curtain
closed. Guy in a machete looks at your
curtain like Cardiff fuck up. Titanic's going down, he's on
it. Like it's all right.
Should be all good. If they just had a real big
curtain, they could. Have stopped 911, you know the
plane. The first class.
Like fuck we're not. Crash.
Missing take hard left. Janine.
Janine, close them. Guys.
Guys just awkwardly standing in the aisle.
But. If they if they all the carts
coming down, if they didn't have a curtain, Can you imagine how
much of an even bigger field day conspiracy theorists would have?
They're like, yeah, that curtain was George Bush.
You know, nobody talks about it. I There's nothing worse than
even the. Piss mid flight and the cart is
coming down the aisle. Yeah, I, I when we were flying
over. To.
Toronto I was. I got up from my seat, walked to
the back to the where the toilet.
Sir. The cart was like 5 rows in
front of me. There's about another 30 between
me and not on the toilet and I said I was like, I'm just sure
you have like I'm just looking to the toilet.
I said do you want like UK to back it up to like the toilet
area and then I can walk. Out a little.
John And she goes, she goes, she goes no.
And I was like, all right, I just stand there the whole time.
Last time this is actually. Unlocked the suppressed battery
the last time I flew to the last time I flew to New York.
Like the carts coming down, but I'm fully out.
I'm asleep. So I take the gamble.
Sometimes I'm like, listen, the sleep's more valuable to me than
whatever the fuck dash tonight. Agreed.
So I'll take the sleep, right Yeah.
I woke up by the way I. Hope this doesn't start like a.
Rye or something I get like a tweet from fucking American
Airlines. This woman right woke me up, but
she had me like a dump like like 1/2 dumped almost or that's what
felt like like it didn't feel like a friendly tap of like Sir,
She's like it was like we fucking like it was almost like
she turned around. She was like get this fuck and
she fucking. Follow on like.
I woke up as if that's the only way she can get through.
Cup. Human and she put up a.
Catch him. I haven't forgot all about it.
As they care, whatever you had to do.
But I want to tell you about the so the hostile situation, right?
I was like, fuck up. This is a there's a big gig for
me personally. I'm going to book myself a nice
hotel right now. My mate Dom hooked it up because
his cousin works at this hotel. I think it's the Maison in
Dublin, right? So I get a room in there, right?
And it's the nicest place I've ever stayed in my life.
Like there's a pool and shit in there.
That's my calibre for nice. I'm like, there's a pool here I
can go into. I was walking about it and I've
been like, is that accident? I don't want to get fucking
duped here. Like now work.
Away the toiles and all too. What smell?
Amount class. So I go up to the room, right?
You know Kevin McAllister and Home Alone.
Literally, that was it. And I go up to the room, right?
And I, I open up the door and I'm used to like an E top layer.
The bed's touching the wall, right?
Yeah. So I get in there and there's
like bottles of gin, like crisps, chocolate.
There's a bottle of Jack Daniels in the bed tucked into the bed,
right? Like, are we baby?
And I was like, Dom hooked me up.
I was like, Dom must have got me some sort of like mad sweet,
right? So I go on my Instagram story,
flax him right and look at all this shit.
Cracked open the bottle of Jack Daniels, had one glass of it and
majorly one of my mates taxed me being like, you stupid cunt,
that's a money bar. They're going to charge you for
that. The next day.
I immediately screwed the cat bag on, put it in the fridge and
forgot all about it And I went down the next day and I could
you hang from the new barn. I goes fucking bottle of Jack
Daniels open in my room. I got up there and I was like,
I'm not prepared for that 30 Dang, they would have charged me
for a glass of Jack Daniel, but they put it on the bed.
That's. That's an order I would.
Have I would have took the L right, But the fact that they
put it in the bed, I was like you're you're crafty fuckers.
Yeah, And you won't get me with this.
Yeah, No, you didn't get charged for it.
Well. Maybe Dom?
I don't. Know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, no, I've managed to
get away with it. I think I like a.
Nice Hotel is brilliant because we've all stayed.
In. Shit holes but like a nice.
Hotel. Like even we stay in holiday in
Toronto was brilliant, really nice.
Do you know what's The funny thing on Like a Girl?

He keeps it trim. Good man.
I got my haircut for the first time with with not my usual
Barber and Oma and it was it was the first time I got a cut and
it was in London. Wasn't about it.
You can't beat the dynamic you have with your.
I don't believe in soul mates, but I do believe in soul
barbers. Yeah, like you find your Barber
and that's it. And you know, you should keep
the relationship as best you can.
Sometimes, though, you got to change.
It up I maybe I just haven't found the right haircut.

up with Coco, see what he has because he's.
We up here, but what we say, I'm sorry about the game.
Is it an app? Coco is an app.
Yeah, Firebox. It's not like Coco's up the
apps. Not it's not Coco's.
He's just on and up. Yeah, but my, my.
The Barber that had London already like too over familiar,
right? He was talking about his days
that he used to be in the Army and then was talking about all
the pranks they'd play on each other.
And then majorly just showed me a video of like some guy with
his deck out, like teabagging one of the other boys.
And I was just like, can you just, can you just comb my hair?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, please. All those kind of pranks go that
way. Yeah, why are you dragging me
into this sexual? Assault.
Yeah. You know, it's like it's the
one. That rap there, that's like.
Yeah, all those like. Rugby pranks.
You just have the you just have the nerve to talk.
To me about the mic and user in the corner, Yeiten Yeiten and
ref and fucking Tokyo ref over there.
I wish you'd go to Coco, but you can't.
He's got nothing in it. Oh no.
Fuck. But one day.

player and then go to New York next year.
Not across that, just like, come on, don't fuck about.
But yeah, then hopefully move to New York next year and just see
what happens. Yep, you know, that's how that's
how I want to pan out the next few years.
I just like the idea of like an. Instagram video like shuttle
epic and all of you just like like touching down at JFK yeah
just be like boom our McCann's in town and all you have over
your shoulder is a microphone and a curtain Oh why yeah for
protection for. Protection.
Yeah, obviously they were like, should I carry a bulletproof
vest or like an alarm or anything?
Love it. Go to Harry Corrie.
Get yourself a curtain now. Don't go.
Don't get caught. Slipping about a curtain.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Curtains all you need, even in
that you know that old phone, the guy.
Comes into the doll with a knife the old second one yes.
Notice when he kills there it's because he pulled back the
curtain yeah. Yeah, that, that's.
True, I'm all wrong. No, you're right, because.
The thing about curtains. Is and what will be annoyed
because if you're serial cut like a murderer in that one, you
never want to look. You want to look like stone
faced, clean, clinical. But the thing with curtains, if
you don't open it sometimes and there's nothing worse than not
knowing where the part is. No serial killer wants to move
around. So if you have yours.
In a weird place. Like if you've got a curtain
this like a 5 foot curtain, but the parton's like a foot in,
yeah, no one's getting, no one's getting through that.
That's actually great because serial.
Killings, I feel like they're always in films and
documentaries. They always seem very seamless.
Yes. And I'm like, there definitely
has to be some awkward, like, serial killings somewhere.
Do you know what I mean? Like, yes, the guys had a wheat
trip or something, Yeah. I need this blows nose.
No serial killers ever asked for a.
Hanky. The fucking Kleenex shankers.
Out of the game. You guys needed the sneeze.
Yeah. Sorry, 2 seconds. 2 seconds.
No, it's OK. It's OK.
And then he does need the. Sneeze.
Yeah, Or like a tad. Bomb they were.
It's like fucking He goes to buy a drink and the bartender gets
it wrong. He's like, man, don't fuck us
up. You know what I mean?
All right, man, That's us. We're going to go take a walk up
the High Street, have a little bit of food, have a nice time.
