MUIREANN O’ CONNELL, NEIL DELAMERE AND MICHAEL CONLON JOIN THE LADS FOR “THE 2 JOHNNIES LATE NIGHT LOCK IN”

Johnny B and Johnny Smacks are back tonight for the second episode of the new series of The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In.

After the series opener last week, the boys are joined in the pub by stand-up comedian Neil Delamere, TV star and fashionista Muireann O’Connell and former Olympic boxer Michael Conlan. There will also be music from folk legend Sharon Shannon, accompanied by Alan Connor.

The fun continues with a game of Dating or Related? on the streets of Waterford City and fans from Meath and Kerry go head-to-head in the hotly contested Parish Quiz.

TV presenter Muireann O’Connell becomes the interviewee for change as she reveals how she made Tommy Bowe say the word “vulva” live on Ireland AM, why her mam trolls Muireann over her fashion choices and how she banned her mother from texting her when she’s live on screen.

As a proud Offaly man, comedian Neil Delamere gets the rare chance to lift the Liam MacCarthy cup as he recalls taking a wrong turn and accidentally being the “lead car” in a stranger’s funeral while on tour in England. He also he lifts the lid on life at home with his three-legged dog, Lola the lurcher.

Former World Championship gold medal winner Michael Conlon swaps the boxing ring for the bar stool as he chats about his being the first fighter to spar in arenas in both Belfast and Dublin, his unfinished business at the 2016 Olympics and tweeting Vladimir Putin afterwards – and he throws a punch in Johnny B’s stomach.

In the Parish Quiz John from Rosnaree in Co. Meath takes on Karen from Lixnaw in Co. Kerry.

There will also be a game of Dating or Related? on the streets of Waterford and trad legend Sharon Shannon, accompanied by Alan Connor, performs her hit song Galway Girl and Jean’s Reel.

For this and lots more chaotic craic tune in to The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In tonight on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player at 9:35pm.
