In this episode of Trying Times, Nghia and Jack interview Eoghan Collins an excellent musical comedian and actor making waves on the Irish Comedy scene.

Eoghan had to sit with the two hosts and set the whole podcast up as they were too useless to figure out how an interface works.

In the Episode, the lads talk to Eoghan about his experiences in Rugby; as a fan, as a player lining out in training against a certain Ireland Captain and more recently as the face of Guinness Ad campaign warning Ireland Fans not to jinx it (which worked clearly...).

Eoghan is doing two Work in Progress shows at the Scene and Heard festival on the 24th and 25th of February in Dublin before doing 4 days at the Brighton Fringe Festival, on his way to Edinburgh in August.

Trying Times is a rugby/comedy podcast, where two comedians talk the sport they love that doesn't always love them back.

Nghia Mai and Jack Dolan talk all things rugby with people they barely know to see if people are as obsessed with the game as they are.

In this pilot episode, the hosts talk amongst themselves. To kick us off, Jack interviews Nghia to see how his rugby life stacks up to host the pod. They discover the highs and lows of Nghia's playing days as well as the similarities between playing rugby and doing stand up comedy.

The episode lacks some of the finer tuning that will come in future episodes.

We know we don't have a theme tune.

Coming out January 20th, Trying Times with Nghia Mai and Jack Dolan.

Coming soon… two idiots (comedians) talk rugby to anyone who stay still long enough to listen.
