TOP NI COMEDIANS PADDY RAFF & EMER MAGUIRE LAUNCH NEW PODCAST
‘Just Between Paddy & Emer’
Two of Northern Ireland’s top comedians, Emer Maguire and Paddy Raff, are joining forces to launch a brand-new weekly comedy podcast, Just Between Paddy & Emer, launching Wednesday 11th November.
The pair have been close friends since 2021, when a then up-and-coming Emer opened for Paddy on his first headline tour. Now, as regular fixtures across TV, radio, and selling out theatres throughout the UK and Ireland, the duo are inviting fans to pull up a seat and join the chat.
Each episode feels like eavesdropping on two best mates sharing a drink as they cover everything from cringe-worthy teenage music projects to the chaotic reality of their whirlwind comedy careers. With their guitars always within reach, listeners can expect impromptu musical interludes alongside embarrassing stories and answers to fan-submitted questions.
Paddy commented; “We’ve been mates for years but people really enjoyed the gig we put on together at the Fleadh in the summer and since then, people keep telling us they’d love to see more of us paired up, so the podcast was a great excuse for us to just relax and catch up as well as give the people what they want. We’ve already recorded a few episodes and are having a blast discovering things about each other we didn’t know, through fan questions – like the fact that Emer was the moody lead singer in an indie band when she was a teenager with random lyrics about licking ice cream lids.”
Emer said; “Paddy and I first met a few years ago when he asked me to support him on tour. We’ve got a lot in common: we’re both musicians who somehow found our way into comedy! This year we’ve had such a laugh travelling around together when Paddy’s been supporting me on tour. The only problem is that, when we’re not working, it can be really hard to get our diaries to line up. So we thought we might as well schedule our catch-ups— and record them while we’re at it. We’re having a brilliant time making the podcast, and I hope people enjoy listening to us as much as we enjoy making it.”
Just Between Paddy & Emer launches on Wednesday, 11th November, with new episodes dropping weekly across all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
