Comedian Gearóid Farrelly is a very busy man. He's touring the UK with the hilarious Sarah Millican, has just kicked off his new Irish 'Home Truths' tour and produces a monthly podcast called 'Fascinated'. And it's a nostalgic's dream.

Hello new followers! I have a podcast where I track down my childhood heroes. It’s called “Fascinated with Gearoid Farrelly”. Episodes are monthly. You’ll find it wherever you get your podcasts. pic.twitter.com/5T8NtCYWMe

In his latest edition, Gearóid catches up with The One and Only Chesney Hawkes to find out a bit more about the man behind the 20th biggest selling song of the nineties. 

Chesney reveals how he was once Billy Ocean's paperboy and told the host why he thinks movie director Duncan Jones is obsessed with him. And it's very intriguing. 

Farrelly also amazes us with a story about his cat, a highly domesticated feline called 'Boots' who can actually use the toilet, tells us why he hates fancy dress, and chats about his new project, "I've written a sitcom with Kathleen O'Rourke and the UK seem to really like it".

Check out his Facebook and Twitter for more news and updates on his gigs.

Friday 2nd Nov: Dolans, Limerick

Friday 16th Nov: Seamus Ennis Centre, Naul

8th Dec: The Venue, Ratoath
