Summary

(Recorded May 2021) The last time Mike and Aisling Bea spoke, Aisling was frantically making pizza from scratch for one of Mike's Worldwide Comedy Pizza Party virtual shows. Now that the dough has settled, they dig in for a conversation about introverts vs. an extroverts, why it's tough to follow an Irish comedian in Ireland, and Mike's wife's misunderstanding about the berries of the town of Dingle. Plus, Aisling reveals a very personal story that might end up being part of a new solo show. Please consider donating to Refuge. https://www.refuge.org.uk/
