Phoning It In
Phoning It In is a hilarious improvised phone-in show. Each week, host Dave Coffey fields a collection of calls from a bunch of cranks, oddballs and weirdos. Dave is joined in studio by regular guests who will lend some 'expert' advice to the callers. This weekly podcast features some of Ireland's best comedians and improvisers who have (literally) no idea what they're getting themselves into - until their host introduces them on air. To hear your complaint feature in a future episode, spew your bile to phoningitinshow@gmail.com Or message us on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook @PhoningItInShow
