Ever since they met in primary school back in 1999, Daragh Twomey and Steve Collins knew they wanted to host a comedy podcast where they talk about really cool and interesting topics while cracking the odd joke at each other’s expense.

Daragh has been producing really good and not bang average sketch comedy under the pseudonym “Threemey” since 2016, and has been met with mild to moderate success and has gained a following of probably a few people, you just wouldn’t know them. Steve Collins who spends his days scaffolding and his nights sleeping, began acting alongside Daragh in his sketch comedy videos in 2017 and the pair have been sworn enemies since.

Here they are now, trying desperately to entertain strangers via a podcast. Join the lads in Steve’s backhouse every Monday morning and laugh your way through your miserable existence. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider subscribing to their patreon at patreon. com/theladspodcast

In our podcast we're challenging the perception social media throws at us of perfection, which is, frankly, impossible to attain. We are saying its OK to mess up! We make mistakes... constantly... and are nowhere near perfect. Let's embrace our imperfections, celebrate together life's mishaps and as you laugh at us or with us (who cares which) you can marvel at how we've managed unsupervised so far.
