Agony Rants
Eurovision winner Niamh Kavanagh and comedian Gearóid Farrelly have been friends for a very long time. In this new show they are widening their circle of friends to include you. If you need unwavering, unconditional support, someone to champion you or to just get something off your chest; they are ready to listen, offer advise and if necessary start a brutal campaign of revenge on your behalf. As a national treasure and mother of two Niamh is the calm, soothing voice of experience. Gearóid on the other hand has a cat and limited patience but is well-intentioned. To get in touch email Agonyrants@gmail.com or follow Niamh (Niamhkavanagh93) or Gearoid (gearoidfarrelly) on instagram.
