As the saying goes, it takes many years to become an overnight success, and this is something that Chris Kent knows all about. Having worked for years as an electrician, Chris wanted to try his hand at comedy and started to graft hard on the scene. Things started to take off for him and he was able to work at his comedy full time. But then Covid hit – the dream ended and Chris went back to his trade to make ends meet.

 But today, Chris is back on the horse and he’s selling out venues all over Ireland and the UK. On this episode of the Mario Rosenstock Podcast he tells me his fascinating story and we go deep on all things comedy, writing and life as a performer

 Comedy – we got exclusive access to Met Eireann’s voicemails this week, and some familiar voices have a lot to say to them!
