Hello and welcome to episode 196 of what most people think and if this is the first time

you listen to it, it's just a podcast really that comes with political cultural and social

issues from a slightly different angle to what comedy normally does. That was well phrased

Jeff for a guide of rights for living, speaks for living and used to be an English teacher.

So yeah we got a great guest this week, Deona Doherty from Northern Ireland, brilliant

comics, she's been in dairy girls, she's a brilliant stand-up, she's one of the regulars

my former Mashraport colleague pointed out was a weird one. I went out, I got there, the

food was lovely, it's all very, you know, it's all very lovely, you've died, you know,

there was a bit of that going on but you have to accept that, that's the world you mean,
