In this episode, I engage in a delightful conversation with Áine Gallagher, known as the "Queen of the Offbeat" in Irish comedy. We explore her fascinating journey with the Irish language, from her early educational experiences to her unique blend of bilingual comedy. Áine's insights into the challenges of learning and using Gaeilge, both on and off the stage, are not only enlightening but also filled with her trademark humour. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of language, culture, and comedy, and for those curious about the personal and cultural dimensions of embracing the Irish language in contemporary times.
