Keep It Tight
Each Wednesday Deirdre and Emma will discuss what’s delighted them, bewildered them, enraged them, and everything in between.
No topic is out of bounds from the highest brow to the lowest pelvic floor. Through their uniquely comedic lens, this podcast creates the kind of belly laughs you’ll want to send to a friend; and with the state of the world, a good laugh is in order! With two queens of Irish Comedy, you'll be in good hands.
Their friendship was recently cemented when they both took part in the no. 1 Amazon Prime show LOL Last one Laughing Ireland presented by Graham Norton. They’re two hilarious and fully-fledged grown women who don’t have time for the faff, so let’s just keep it tight shall we??
