Farmer Michael, a Butcher’s Apron & Musicals with Misery

Summary: <p>We have a belter of a podcast today, joining me as usual is the hilarious Seamus Kelly, we chat about our love for musicals with misery, the butchers apron in Kerry and why Anthony Bourdain was a dude. On top of all that we’re got a Farmer Michael interview, none other than Stevo Timothy.</p> <audio class="wp-audio-shortcode" id="audio-605-65" style="width: 100%;"><a href="http://thecomedycast.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/The-Comedy-Cast-S03E05-Farmer-Michael-a-Butchers-Apron-Musicals-with-Misery.mp3">http://thecomedycast.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/The-Comedy-Cast-S03E05-Farmer-Michael-a-Butchers-Apron-Musicals-with-Misery.mp3</a></audio> <h3>Comedy Podcast</h3> <p>We kick off the podcast with a confession we both have regarding redheads and Seamus divulges some personal information about his mental health. Look, let’s lay this out, we don’t have any problems discussing mental health issues on this podcast and we don’t take lightly to people who claim they’re open to talking about issues just to look good. We will talk about them and we’ll go deep on them and by Jaysus we’ll make a mockery of them too.</p> <p>Follow Spud on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/The_ComedyCast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>:</p> <p>Follow Seamus on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/Seamusnojokes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>:</p> <p>We have a wee chat Seamus losing money in the big smoke in Dublin which leads us down a tangent about Barack Obama’s apparent Irish ancestry, which has lead to a shopping centre in rural Offaly being named after him.</p> <h3>Farmer Michael Interview</h3> <p>Let’s get straight into our mammoth interview next. This week we have the</p> <p>wonderful comedy pair of <a href="https://twitter.com/SirStevoTimothy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stevo Timothy</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/LadySineadNora" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sinead Nora McGrath</a>  on to speak about Stevo’s comedy character Farmer Michael. Now if you don’t know who Farmer Michael is, well you need to check out his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2hgRzkWZmGkigghCUXDzVA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YouTube channel</a>. He’s been a huge viral hit in Ireland and Britain and I’ve been a fan of his satirical comedy for a long time now and it was a pure delight to have himself and Sinead on the podcast to speak about why Farmer Michael has been a success, why it’s hit home with British audience, their success so far and what the future holds for them.</p> <p>Back to the gruesome twosome then and Seamus and Spud speak about the coming visit of Britain’s Prince Charles and Lady Camilla (that’s her title?, I’ve no idea) and the furor that it has caused among people who have very little to be doing with their daily lives. They’re kicking up a stink on social media because a car park is being mended which wasn’t going to be and the flying of the Union Jack on some flagpoles in County Kerry.</p> <h3>Best Comedy Podcasts</h3> <p>Seamus and myself love a musical.
