This week Mairead was joined by comedian extraordinaire Fred Cooke for Tell Me Something I Don’t Know.

Anyone who knows Fred knows that he’s an eccentric – so we expected a pretty out there story. But we weren’t quite ready for the story we got.

Turns out Mr. Cooke repeated his Leaving Cert when he was 19... in an ALL GIRLS convent school called Eureka.

And it’s not that he simply sat the exams there. He spent the whole year there, doing all his lessons in the school.

Fred also chatted about his new Fred Space tour which he is currently touring the country with.
