Summary
In this episode, I sit down with actor, writer, and comedian John Colleary for a wide ranging and deeply personal conversation about his journey into the world of performance. From his early days growing up in County Sligo to his experiences living abroad, John reflects on the moments and influences that shaped both his life and career. We dive into how he first found his footing in the industry, the twists and turns that led him to where he is today, and some of the standout projects he’s worked on including the iconic series The Savage Eye. Along the way, we share plenty of laughs, memories from the set, and honest insights into the realities of working in comedy and television. It’s a thoughtful, funny, and nostalgic conversation you won’t want to miss. Please sign up to my Patreon for weekly bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/BigNewsComingSoon Hosted on Acast.
