My stand-up gig


This was my first and, I’m glad to say, only ever stand-up comedy performance, recorded exactly a year ago today for a Vodafone campaign. I still reckon that, on a minute-by-minute basis, I might actually be the highest grossing comedian of all time. (Eat shit, Seinfeld.) But I’m not in a rush to ever do it again.

    If I’m not mistaken the guy that introduces you there now stars in those annoying Spar ads.

    Well, I always knew we were in the presence of greatness that night. I’d just assumed it was me.

    This is even more poignant to watch now Colm and JimJim are RIP

  4. Eoin Says:

    Wait, what? Colm and Jim Jim are dead?

  5. KevinD Says:

    Their not dead but they split up professionally.

  7. Eoin Says:

    @ Gueuleton – Well, that’s a relief to hear. What are they up to nowadays then?

    I hear Colm now goes by the name “Colm”.

    I was pretty impressed actually. The screengrab of the video gives the impression you were going to be reading all your jokes so you definitely raised the bar!
