Aussie writer and comedian Mama Duck chats to Irish comedian and cocreator of Paddyshack Comedy Club in Galway, Ian Burke.
Before Covid, Ian was a performer around the Irish comedy scene, scoring success in stand up comic competitions and was employed by Galway 2020, the year long Arts and Culture Festival being hosted by Ireland.
