In the third episode of The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In actor Danny O’Carroll shares his hidden talent of being able to balance pretty much anything on his face (including a bar stool and a baseball cap!)

PJ Gallagher tells the lads about how terrifying stand up comedy can be and how he spent the guts of 20 years cacking himself. PJ chats about nicking knickers at the gym, having to cycle to his own christening (in safari style shorts!) co-parenting Stella the Staffy with his ex and how his two year old twins refuse to sleep.
Actor Danny O’Carroll talks about playing the character of Buster in Mrs. Brown’s Boys and tells Johnny B and Johnny Smacks that Buster is a “lovable rogue and the type of character who’d break into a bookies and lose 50 quid.” Danny regales the lads with a story of auditioning for a boyband for Louis Walsh with the song I Can Show You The World from Aladdin and has tips on how to answer the phone when Jean-Claude Van Damme calls your home! 

Stand up comedian Anna Clifford gets the crowd chuckling with tales of how to stand up to bullies, the perils of modern dating and why she fancied a guy in a nappy. 
In the Parish Quiz Dean McGarry from Bekan in Co. Mayo and Mary Taaffe from Dromin in Co. Louth go head to head. Who’ll scoop the grand prize? It’s either an all expenses paid trip to Vegas or a free round of pool at your local pub! Tune in to cheer the pair on.
