Aussie writer and comedian Mama Duck chats to Irish comedian and cocreator of Paddyshack Comedy Club in Galway, Ian Burke.

Before Covid, Ian was a performer around the Irish comedy scene, scoring success in stand up comic competitions and was employed by Galway 2020, the year long Arts and Culture Festival being hosted by Ireland.

An unquarantined island and a grossly mismanaged pandemic overseen by a greedy inept government who locked down Irish people in their homes but left the airports open for Americans and the NI borders unattended soon saw the craic cancelled from Coast to Coast and Ian, like most millennials, unemployed and living back with his parents.

At least he can see the funny side.... Or at least we could still the funny side back at the beginning of 2020.
