Dermot Whelan
He worked as an assistant director in film and TV for five years, before jacking it in to follow a new career in radio and stand-up.
After a stint in news on Dublin’s 98FM, he started writing comedy routines for the breakfast show before landing the presenting job himself.
He started in comedy in 2004, and within a year he was performing at the Kilkenny Cat's Laugh Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe.
He’s since been on RTE stand-up show Liffey Laughs and topical comedy show The Panel.
