We’ve landed in London to the incredible news that it’s now…. cool to be Irish!?

We invited comedian, podcaster and actor Vittorio Angelone round to our flat in Hackney. Vittorio was nominated best newcomer in Edinburgh for his first show Translations, he’s part of Channel 4’s A Comedy Thing, he has a massive tour of the UK and Ireland coming up and he once nutmegged Dimitar Berbatov in a charity match.

We had a great chat about growing up in Belfast, his grandparents’ move from war-torn Italy, why and how he got into comedy, and what the difference is between a panic attack and a hallucination.

Plus there’s Kimmel’s ratings. trying to support England, James Galway’s golden flute, the self promotion generation, and goading angry rugby players.
