Rory Bremner's International Satirists - Barry Murphy - Ireland

Rory Bremner engages topical comics, satirists and comedians from different countries about their cultures and how they relate to ours - if at all. Described as the Don of Irish comedy by The Irish Times, Barry Murphy has, with his Comedy Cellars club in Dublin, watched as his protégés Eddie Izzard, Tommy Tiernan and Dylan Moran went on to international fame. He is regarded by many as the most respected topical comic/satirist in Ireland, and he gives Rory a unique insight into the rich world of Irish satire. With contributions from Mario Rosenstock.
