BINGO: EASTER SUNDAY


It's gonna be a religious experience at Bank Holiday Bingo on Easter Sunday so expect to get spiritual (unless you're a beer drinker or a Pioneer). That's cuz we're having an Easter Vigil! (Are you excited? I know I'm meant to be.) To celebrate The Read more

BINGO: 10 MARCH 2013


Why give up a night out with me just because it's Mother's Day? Apart from the ones who wrote in to RTE to complain about me, most mother's love me! So get your Ma in on the act this Mother's Day and get her Read more

SHIRLEY ON PADDY'S DAY


  St. Patrick's Day falls on a Sunday this year and, mainly because I don't fancy swimming to The George through a river of wee and vomit, we're putting on our show at the earlier - and hopefully more sober - time of 6pm. We'll Read more

BINGO: 17 FEBRUARY 2013


Love is a many splendour'd thing. Or so they say. I don't know what exactly a "splendoured" thing is. My guess:  Something that's low in actual sugar but high in Xylitol or Aspertame or some sugar replacement. That's all good if you have Type Read more

Dizzy is very busy working at the amazing 2012 Gaze Film Festival – the French say her popcorn is unpassable! – so here’s a shot of her with me at one of our more well paid gigs. Before they paid us, natch.

Do remember to drop in and see some of the great gay films they have on offer over the bank holiday weekend. It runs until Monday evening. So what, I hear you ask, is a gay film? What is your favourite gay film? I doubt if I know:

Here I am with Twink and Linda Martin. Two fine specimens of Irish womanhood. I had just given them bunches of flowers that I didn’t need anymore so look at their smiles. Twink’s is so professional. Linda’s is just genuine and a bit touched. They loved the flowers… a lot more than they now love each other. (And for the record: I’m on Linda’s side. You should NEVER bitch so loudly about your friend that they actually hear what you said – from you. That’s just careless. Friends don’t let friends do that!)
