Hello and welcome to the big Sunday interview from an Irish man abroad. My name's Jarlet

Regan. I'm your host and every single week we present usually three, maybe four podcasts to you

to enjoy. On Mondays we have our parenting podcast, Honey, you're ruining our kid with my wife

and child expert, Tina Regan.

On Tuesdays we have Sanyo Sullivan for our running podcast, an Irishman running abroad.

And every Friday I have Marion McKeown unraveling and unpicking the intricacies of US politics and at the moment, this invasion of Ukraine.

It's my pleasure to present these podcasts to you every single week, but we can't do it without your help. Head over to patreon.com forward slash Irishman abroad to become a supporter of

the show. And in return, I'll give you access to every single episode we've ever produced,

including hundreds in our archive that you cannot find anywhere else.

Well, The Curse is an unbelievable new comedy series.

It's a comedy caper set in London in the early 1980s, following a gang of hopeless, small-time crooks,

who, through their own stupidity and gullibility and poor judgment, find themselves embroiled

in one of the biggest heists, gold heists in history. It stars, of course, my guest today,

Tom Davis, who you'll know for a murder and successful and King Gary and lots, lots more.

And his story is well publicised, let's say, has been covered many, many times that he worked

as a scaffolder, as a bouncer, as a market stall trader, and then gave it a shot as a stand-up

comedian. And when his friend was working as a runner on the Bo Selecta show with Lee Francis,

they gave some videos in of their comedy sketches.

He then invited them to appear on the show.

He appeared in various different comedy roles in TV for the following years.

And that's a bit of an understatement.

This man is a grafter.
