Summary

This week, Irish comedy legends Foil, Arms & Hog joined Jarlath for a rare and hilarious conversation about their rise to success and more.    In this rip-roaring chat, Sean Finegan, Conor McKenna and Sean Flanagan speak to Jarlath about bringing sketch comedy into the modern Irish comedy scene, how they often consoled each other on those long journeys home after a tough gig and their experiences of taking the Edinburgh Fringe Festival leap.   The lads open up about the one show after which they didn't want to meet their audience, the powerful influence that Dr. Brown's performance style had on them, the art of clowning, how it feels to be creating on their own terms and much more.   To hear every episode in full and to gain access to the entire back-catalogue of over 500 Irishman Abroad episodes that are not available on iTunes for just the price of a pint every month visit www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad     Supplementary research provided by John Meagher.   The Irishman Abroad Liveline is now open.
