Peter McGann: “Irish comedy has come a long way since bad jokes about the drunk Irishman.”

Today’s Indo Daily comes from one of our sister podcasts, Under The Grill. The actor and viral comedian Peter McGann joins Kevin Dundon and Caoimhe Young in the Under the Grill kitchen to chat about his favourite dish of all time, pre-show nerves and his part in Sky Atlantic’s Small Town, Big Story, which was written and directed by Chris O’Dowd. Wicklow-born Peter says: “Those jokes like ‘I came home, I was so drunk, I put the rashers in the toaster’, that slap stuff is mostly gone from the comedy stage.” The dad-of-one adds: “My dish of choice is a seafood chowder in a sourdough bowl because it brings me back it to the best summer of my life. It’s just delicious. I love seafood of any kind. “I was in college in Galway one summer and I was chasing a girl, who is now my wife, and there used to be a stall in Galway selling seafood chowder in a bread bowl. It brings back such good memories.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
