Get ready for laughter lads - lots of laughter.

Comedian, actor and writer Eric Lalor called into Dermot and Dave this morning for a long overdue catch-up. 

Eric's a busy man; between portraying Carrigstown's most sinister character Cathal Spillane, stand-up comedy and writing across all kinds of platforms - he keeps himself out of trouble (most the time).

He chatted to the lads about how much he loves being a baddie in Fair City, how excited he is for the Kilkenny Cat Laughs festival and how he and Dermot may have auditioned for the same role(s).

There's a couple of good stories about him being noticed in public too. It's not easy being famous Eric.
