58 - Colm Tyrrell

In this episode, Christian talks to Colm Tyrrell. Colm is a stand-up from north Dublin who won the Bulmers Galway Comedy Festival ‘Stand Up Showdown 2013’ in Roisin Dubh beating stiff competition from fifteen strong competitors. His prize was a much coveted support spot with Kevin Bridges at the festival which was very favourably reviewed by Chortle. Colm previously reached the finals of many new act competitions, including the semi-final of the prestigious ‘So you think you're funny?’ competition at The Edinburgh Fringe in 2012. In 2013 he won the all Ireland University intervarsity competition and was a finalist on RTE's New Comedy Awards. Christian chats to him about bringing a show to the Edinburgh festival, how he writes his material and about TV auditions.
