He can be seen on the BBC quiz show 'The Blame Game' and has performed on 'Stand up for the week' for Channel 4, 'Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow', RTE's 'Republic of Tele', 'Comedy Central at the Comedy Store' and now my podcast,'The 80%'.

This was one of the first 'interviews' I did in 2013 with brilliant comedian Eleanor Tiernan. Eleanor is one of the stars and writers of Irish Pictorial Weekly on RTE which you should go and look for on You Tube.

In this episode, we talk about writing, de comedy and I say 'yeah, yeah, yeah' a lot. (*not true).Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-80-with-esther-omoore-donohoe. Hosted on Acast.

YOU WANTED MORE; HERE'S EPISODE FOUR! This week I was lucky enough to speak with designer, tech and social entrepreneur, author, broadcaster and (having watched her on TV3's The Restaurant) incredible cook, Sonya Lennon! Sonya wears many different (stylish) hats and seems to do so with the greatest of ease. If every school had a career guidance teacher like Sonya, we'd all be sorted. She is assured and hard working and, if you're looking for some motivation, then hearing Sonya talk about all the things she has achieved, may just be what you need.If you liked our chat, please subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, Soundcloud or Stitcher and new episodes will wing their way to you as soon as they are uploaded every Tuesday.

JUMPIN' JOLLICKERS, I WAS ON ME HOLLIERS! Which is why there was no podcast uploaded last Tuesday. I had it edited and ready to upload ahead of time for when I was away but the wifi was so bad where I was, I couldn't do it mates. I'm sure you were all devo but managed to somehow get on with your lives regardless. I edited this chat the night before I went off on me jolls when I was trying to pack and do a million other things hence I sound a bit weary in the intro and outro. I will be back to my fountain of dynamic effervescence next week I'm sure. THIS WEEK, I am chatting with broadcaster, writer and prolific Zara shopper, Rebecca Horan. No doubt you have heard Rebecca's lovely voice reading the news on Today FM, 98FM, Lyric FM and many other FMs I cannot recall at this moment in time. You may have also seen her on TV3 contributing on Ireland AM and the artist formally known as Midday, now known as Elaine. Currently, she works as digital editor and presenter for http://www.Extra.ie as well as doing a thousand other things. She can drop the word 'vagina' into a sentence apropos of nothing, more than any other human I have ever met and I like her all the more for it. She's cool and no fool so listen to this, it's like mini-career school. LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE PLEASE!
