BAFTA award-winning actress and Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes and Senator Lynn Ruane will join Ryan on the couch to discuss all manners of things, such as their summer holiday in a campervan, their shared love of the Aran Islands and their upcoming documentary about Lady Gregory.
Comedian Conor Moore (aka Conor’s Sketches) will be on hand to give the audience some well-needed Friday night laughs! His impersonations of sports stars and celebrities continue to gather hundreds of millions of views online.
Karina Molloy, one of the first women to join the Irish Defence Forces, will also be joining Ryan to go into detail about her experiences of harassment, sexual assault and bullying while serving and why she feels the need to tell her story.
And that’s not all! In terms of musical guests, Aby Coulibaly will be performing live as she showcases her new single. Plus, Derek Ryan and Emma Langford will be giving a duet performance of Everywhere With You.
