So this is the story. Electric Ireland (the ESB) are holding a charity race from Dublin to Galway and back. Three celeb teams – Team A Joe Rooney and Mundy in the DeLorean supporting Concern; Team B Katie Van Buren and Andrew Stanley in the New York Taxi supporting the Irish Cancer Society, and Team C Brent Pope and Keith Barry in the Renault Trophy supporting the ISPCC – are competing to bag €20,000 for their chosen charity.

Next Gig - this Thursday October 28th @ 9pm There’s a what, where….? In a world gone mental with Vincent Browne, Pat Kenny and Miriam O’Callaghan all involved in some sort of celebrity death match with the X-factor and The Spice Girls…. Now Andrew Stanley gets to walk home after his gig and keep it a little bit North-side Dublin. I deserve a laugh and a taxi journey that doesn’t cost the same price as a car rental and a hotel room including 2 dinners and one evening meal. I’ve seen Stanley and Rooney live before. A tenner is decent value for those two names alone. Didn’t know George Fox was moonlighting under a very similar pseudonym The comedy club is also on facebook.
