STUDENT TEACHER

Hello there, please find below the promo for RTE Storyland's "Student Teacher".

We filmed the first episode at the beginning of December in my old secondary school. The show stars Conor O'Toole as the titular Student Teacher, with support from Carol Toibin, Neil Molloy, Doireann O'Brien, Justin Brody, Kevin McGahern, Edwin Sammon, Rachel Roche and Kieran Lawless. Music is by the wonderful Brian Kelly. Crewed by lots of lovely people. The show is produced by Damon Blake and Rory Walsh. I'm the writer and director until its discovered that I'm unqualified to be either. Massive thanks to the Presentation College Athenry, the Raheen Woods, Thompsons B&B and the people of Athenry.

The show is going "live" on the 13th of February, at which point you can vote for your favourite web series. We're going to be putting up lots of great teaser content in the run up to the launch, as well as doing gigs all over the place. We may very well be coming to a university near you, provided you live in Ireland.

Special thanks to Harris Wittels from Don't Stop Or We'll Die for allowing us to use his band's music in our trailer.

Gangbusters sketches for Humourisms

Here are some sketches myself and Kev shot for Humourisms. The first concerns a self proclaimed MInister For Ghosts and was shot without permission in a graveyard. The second is a very childish Apprentice sketch featuring comedian Barry Mack with Student Teacher producer/ comedian Damon Blake.

Humourism articles 2011

In September I was invited to join the team at the comedy website Humourisms.com. I agreed so long as they didn't immediately get rid of me. We all had a good laugh at that one. The following day when I showed up late and drunk and crying CONSTANTLY, it was already too late. I wasn't going anywhere, regardless of how much they repeatedly asked me.
I've included all links in HTML on account of how gorgeous it looks and not because I'm still having trouble using the links.
