Eric Lalor is back with Part 2 of his “You Had To Be There” – and the stories get even better.
He chats through the difference between podcasting and stand-up, how you prep for a set, why festival gigs can be chaos, and the reality of hecklers (including the time he was (kinda) threatened with a shotgun in Waterford).
Eric also looks back on breaking into comedy with Des Bishop, leaving IBM for the gamble of going full-time, and how acting roles in Fair City and beyond came knocking.
Plus: Dublin v Kerry 2023 on the Hill, Bohs madness in Tallaght, and a Marco van Basten pub quiz you genuinely couldn’t make up!
