Catherine Bohart is an Irish comic living in London, but the daughter of a Catholic Deacon with pale skin, freckles, red hair won't easily be claimed as British!

She joined Mairead in studio today where they chatted about how running a comedy night snowballed into her career as a stand-up. As well as performing comedy, Catherine also writes for shows like 'The Mash Report' and '8 Out Of 10 Cats'.

Catherine brings her 'Lemon' tour to Ireland next year - you can find the full list of tour dates here.
