Ed Sammon is a stand-up comedian, actor and podcaster. The Reviewables podcast which he hosts with Cian McGarrigle is one of my all-time favourite podcasts. I particularly love how they seldom get around to actually reviewing anything. Ed has a great way of going off on imaginatively surreal tangents that can have you giggling to yourself on your journey to and from work (well, wherever you might be listening to the podcast at. He doesn't specialise in commute only humour). Ed plays Father Gabriel in the RTE hit series Bridget and Eamonn and is a brilliant stand up. But take my word for it. He was a winner of the Toilet Duck Award back in the day but for real proof check out his Cancer and Death routine on Youtube.

Andrew Stanley is an Irish stand up who has appeared at numerous festivals worldwide including The Cat Laughs in Kilkenny, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival and Sydneys Cracker Comedy Festival with hour long shows. These included a show with Australian comic, Damian Clark, called I Dare Ya, which went on to become a hit TV show on Irish station RTÉ 2.

He also took part in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow in 2009 and the New Zealand Comedy Festival in Auckland in 2010\. He was invited to the prestigious Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal where he performed alongside Ardal O'Hanlon, Colm O'Regan and Neil Delamere as part of the O'Comics show.

A few years ago I toured The States with Andrew taking in KC, LA, NY, SF, C and B ( you can guess where the last two are and it's not Cincinatti and Buffalo). Where ever we went he developed an immediate rapport with the audience and blew them away with his improvisational crowd work. We chat about his technique and how the scene has changed since our different times starting out in comedy.
