Ridicule is one of the greatest weapons against Tyranny.
The medieval Lords all had their Court Jester ,whose purpose was to keep them grounded and prevent arrogance and hubris destroying the Lords credibility in the eyes of the People.
Humility is destroyed by absolute power and allows despotism to reign.
"The Gaelic thought process happens to be disorganised and intermittently committed to normality. We break out after short periods of thought with profound observations on impulse. Essentially, we are built for this shit and this morning I caught a glimpse of what such a panel show might look and sound like if we had one here."
Priceless! I split my gut! Thanks for the first laugh of the New Year. When it comes to the Word I think you are an Alchemist posing as a Jester.
Beautiful piece. Thank you. Aiden Killian did, or tried to do 32 gigs in 32 counties during "the emergency". The Derry one was on my back step, and it was exactly as you describe-a shot in the arm, in a good way, of course! Hope in dark times, and much needed. Heros all-we're on the one road.....
On the ball as usual Stephen. The Irish approach of taking the piss out of all and sundry, not only relieves stress in crazy times but scares the fcuk out of those on the other side. They have no sense of humour so they can’t understand. A combination of psychopathy and autism with the usual dollop of narcissism are their trademark features. Great work in Urlingford too, my friend.

I reckon this year will be massive

Thank you Ann. We might see Aiden do a special yet
I have an E on AnnE. Might as well leave off the second "n"! I'll be at the special. It could be massive, with a bit of networking.

Jimmy Dore is another american comedian speaking truths. So is Jim Breuer but Dore's you tube channel is by far the best.
Comedy is the only way to get thru to alot of people. Thanks for another good one.
Thank you Marilyn
