Steve Coogan refers to himself as a 'split personality Brit', raised in Britain but feels Irish.

Next month, he's taking his legendary character Alan Partridge to Ireland, with two nights at Dublin's 3Arena.

This morning, Steve joined The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show to chat about the show as well as any upcoming Alan Partridge projects - did someone say musical?
