There was a dark time in Irish history when having a drink in a pub with some friends required the additional purchase of a “substantial meal.”
Countless nights of talking absolute nonsense were lost.
To combat this, three friends decided to crank up their Windows XP-powered Dell computers and get drunk together online from the squalor of their own homes.
Join two of Ireland’s funniest comedians, Justine Stafford and Martin Angolo, along with Ireland’s least-known actor Dermot Ward, as they enjoy a few drinks while tackling life’s big questions.

Great work

Great work by Justine, Dermot and , Martin! Exactly like how they started how they intended. So it was meant to be like a hangout during the Covid times where you couldn’t go out and it feels like that like a fly on the wall watching and listening to their craic. Good stuff
