It's been a long time since we all had a good laugh and Andrew Maxwell can't wait to bring the giggles to Galway this October.

In his first visit home in almost a year, the London based comic stopped into Dermot and Dave on his way to 'Kilkenny with a sea view', or Galway to us.

Andrew is just one of around 80 comedians who will be performing at the Galway Comedy Festival this October Bank Holiday. He'll be joined by the likes of Nina Conti, Jason Byrne and Reginald D Hunter in 45 shows across seven days.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Andrew explained how happy he is to be back on stage, how the crowds have been so far, and how Kirk from Coronation St saved his life.
