Iconic Irish actress Brenda Fricker will be honoured on tomorrow night’s show.  A special segment of the show will look back on Brenda's illustrious Hollywood career which has spanned six decades and included roles in titles from The Field and A Time To Kill, to Home Alone 2. Brenda, and the coveted Oscar she won for her role in My Left Foot, will be in studio with Ryan, 30 years on from the release of the film. 

Outspoken Michelin-starred chef Richard Corrigan will tell viewers why he's not letting Brexit get in the way of his ever-expanding restaurant business,  why he feels that vegans are wrong about Irish farming, and why fast food is "crap food" and there's no excuse for eating it anymore. 

Becky Loftus Dore will speak to Ryan about her experience of being a surrogate mother for two friends who had struggled to conceive. 

Chart-topping Irish band Kodaline will be in studio for a world exclusive performance of their new single, Wherever You Are.

In another music performance, Stockton's Wing will treat the audience and viewers at home to their ever popular number,  Beautiful Affair. This year's Operation Transformation leaders will also be in the studio. 

All of this, and more, on The Late Late Show, Friday January 10 on RTÉ One at 9.35pm.

The holidays are over and we must admit we are feeling pretty heartbroken about it. Why do they have to go by so quickly?

It feels like Christmas Eve was here in an instant and now we’re back in the office.

It’s been a long and draining day and it feels weird to be wearing something other than pyjamas, but the weekend is only one day away.

 

There’s no doubt that everyone will be feeling a little miserable, and most definitely shattered, after the first day back at work so do yourself a favour and curl up on the sofa for the evening with the remainders of your selection box.

Like us, you’ve probably grown tired of Christmas movies and binge-watched the new series of You in the space of two days but one of our favourite movies is on TV tonight.

Brooklyn will air on RTÉ One today and we honestly couldn’t think of a better movie to watch after being at work all day.

Starring Saoirse Ronan, Domhnall Gleeson, Jim Broadbent and Julie Walters, Brooklyn follows Eilis, a young Irish girl who moves to New York in the 1950s, as she starts a new chapter of her life far away from home.

Brooklyn airs on RTÉ One at 21.35 tonight.

What better way to kick off the new year than with a belly-laughing night out and 'A Holy Show' will definitely do the trick. 

Presented by Verdant Productions, 'A Holy Show' is going on tour across Ireland in January, February and March 2020, as well as performing two dates in the Irish Cultural Centre, Paris following on from the critical success of the Edinburgh Fringe and Dublin Fringe.

Written & Directed by Janet Moran, the cast stars Roseanna Purcell (Copper Face Jacks: The Musical, Red Rock, Fair City) and Mark Fitzgerald (Copper Face Jacks: The Musical, Alone It Stands, Foxy).

A nostalgic comedy based on a very Irish hijacking of the 1981 Aer Lingus plane by an ex-Trappist monk with a bottle of water as his weapon, the Pope as his nemesis, and a burning desire to know The Third Secret of Fatima.    ‘A Holy Show’ takes us back to 1981 and brings us on board the ill-fated Aer Lingus flight EI 164 from Dublin to London. The show follows the passengers and crew as this most Irish of hijackings unfolds.

This production is high energy and takes audiences on a whirlwind of a comic journey with both actors playing multiple characters at breakneck speed. The sharp, insightful script delivers a laugh a minute alongside a revealing and probing understanding of faith in Ireland, both in the 80s and today.

From 23 January 2020 ‘A Holy Show’ is going on a full nationwide tour, with dates announced for Galway, Limerick, Laois, Wicklow, Cavan, Carlow, Cork, Longford, Clare, Belfast and Tipperary as well as a host of Dublin dates and two dates in Paris. Early booking is advised to avoid disappointment, with tickets on sale now.

For a full list of venues and dates, visit the show website now or follow the show on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.

It wouldn’t be Christmas without a visit to the Gaiety Panto! 

Join us as we take you on a magical carpet ride to this year's Gaiety Pantomime, Aladdin. 

An Arabian tale of true love, magic wishes and dastardly dealings, this year's Panto will excite and delight all ages with the extra helping of song, dance, slapstick and laughter that you would come to expect from the Gaiety's festive extravaganza.

The mystical 'Cave of Desire' holds the magic lamp that can only be recovered by one of true heart. Our hero Aladdin, is tricked by his devious "Uncle" into retrieving the lamp and we enter a world of wonder and awe as our 'Genie of the Lamp' makes his wishes come true. However, be careful what you wish for as you may end up with more than you bargained for…!

With a stellar cast of favourites including Joe Conlan as 'Widow Twankey' and Nicholas Grennell as 'Abanazer' we also introduce to you West End talent Julian Capolei as 'Aladdin' and the gorgeous 'Suzie Seweify' as 'Princess Jasmine'.

This is no ordinary panto, it's the Gaiety Panto!

Tickets from €19.50 (including booking fee and restoration levy) are on sale now from Ticketmaster and the Gaiety Theatre Box Office. 

Performances from November 24, 2019 until January 5, 2020.

The Gaiety Theatre has hosted the annual Christmas Panto each year since 1873.
