Well it sure has been a swelterin' summer here on the ol' Brody ranch located several miles below Brody Headquarters. Louis Walsh bought my body swap comedy as Jedward's possible movie debut. I've just finished adapting Raging Bull into a panto for the lads to perform come Christmas time. It might be a bit early to call but I think our main theme, "Did You Fuck My Wife?", is destined to become a yuletide classic.
In other real world news I was shortlisted for Sky's The Big Pitch at this years Kilkenny Festival which was fun. Messers Sammon, Walsh and I got an honourable by Hat Trick for their Short and Furries competition for our sketch "Doctor Dolittle: The True Story".
My sitcom script "Talk Of The Town" was shortlisted by Sideline for their sitcom competition. Diarmuid O'Brien's satirical websitcom "Paddy Angryman", in which I appear alongside proper actors, will be gearing up for more episodes. Diarmuid's something of a workhorse and when he's not showrunning panel show pilots, he's standing up for the little guy/gal through the medium of 'the funny video' with his frequent collaborator Tara Flynn. http://dangerfarm.ie/
Dublin's 10 Days In Dublin Festival kicks off again in July and Colin Chadwick and I delighted to be apart of not one, not three, but two shows. We'll be bringing our hour long sketch-funapalooza "Lad Lane" to Sweeney's on the 8th of July at 6:30.

Colin and I are helping to write and produce a play called "How To Murder A Ghost". We're collaborating with the Gaiety's lovely Teri Fitzgerald and the three of us have been having a grand old time planning the production and scaring the shit out of each other. It's a horror-comedy that's going to be staged in St. Patrick's Cathedral on the nights of the 12th and 13th of July.

We've got a great cast of up-and-coming Gaiety actors as well as some comedy folk. We'll release more details the sooner we get to the show but in the mean time here's a terrifying picture to keep you tantalised...
