Next up, it’s time to accept the fact that you’re not going to be liked by everyone. Why? So you can stop adjusting your behaviour to make people like you.

It sounds incredibly obvious but you should just make what you find funny. It can be very tempting to make what's popular and what's topical, but you'll just end up with an audience you can't relate to and jokes you can't even laugh at. Trust your gut and commit to the bit. I can't remember who told me that, so let's just say it was Abraham Lincoln for the craic. I am also watching Bad Sisters, Sharon Horgan's new dark comedy drama and loving it. It also has a character in it I don't think any other show has made me detest so strongly in my life which is very impressive! Beautifully structured show… her storytelling is so deft and skilful… She can make laughter which ripples around the room and builds up into a roar but she can also draw us into a story so we are listening to every word… delightfully easy to listen to… a truly original voice with an impressive set of skills' – Claire Smith, The Scotsman For anyone who knows the cast from social media, you can expect some supercharged versions of the kinds of sketches we've been making online. Satire, music videos, parodies and even a legit celebrity cameo in one of my sketches. Plus a whole raft of sketches from some absolutely hilarious guest comedians. I can't wait for people to see it. We were all just so encouraging of the ideas everyone had and working on this show as you're dressed in a glittery sequined suit, singing a filthy song about farming, you really do just wonder "how is this really a job?" There was also just so many ideas we didn't even get to create in this series so here's hoping we might even get a second series to bring even more madness!

You’re sending a subconscious message to yourself that your needs aren’t as important as other people’s. We have to be so careful of how we speak to ourselves and even what we say out loud,” explains Ogunlesi. This is particularly important if you suffer from imposter syndrome. Ever told yourself to ​ “fake it till you make it”? Nip that in the bud, too. The sketch show, I Think You Should Leave, with Tim Robinson also needs an honorary mention as well as Free Gaff and GUTF over on YouTube where you'll see some familiar faces. On a chaise longue, while Killian Sundermann feeds me grapes and Michael Fry fans me with a giant banana leaf.

My method is taking a normal scenario and dropping in a bizarre or supernatural element into it. So, it could be phone-in radio show only the guest is a monster or a matter of fact conversation between two Irish mams but it’s during the apocalypse. There’s something extremely funny to me about nonchalance in the face of weirdness. Soupy Norman is hands down the show I quote most (every day) and Stath Lets Flats is one I have recently binged in full and loved as well as the parody reality show Burning Love and Party Down. It was one of the most surreal experiences to get to all meet in person and go through ideas. We hadn't got to meet in person for over a year and a half. It was just wonderful to be in a room full of, I think, some of the funniest people in Ireland and get to sit with them and come up with concepts of one off sketches as well as characters." No Worries If Not! is coming to your telly screens tonight. A half hour of sketch comedy starring Ireland's funniest humans including @BigDirtyFry, @SeanBurkeShow, @EmmaLouDoran, @killersundymann and @JustineStafford 💫 #NWINWhen I was a child it was Jim Carrey, hands down. It's like the man was genetically engineered in a lab to be funny. Nowadays my comedy heroes are people who've done it across a range of different forms and mediums. Bo Burnham, Sharon Horgan, Steve Coogan. If any of you are reading this, we'll have you on in the second series! It’s not a problem” is a simple way to let someone know that no “problems” have arisen. Again, it helps to ease their mind, similar to saying “not a big deal,” as they may be worried that they’ll get into more trouble. I loved it. We did a writers’ room together for a couple days to brainstorm and then split up to work on our sketches separately. Lots of great moments in the show come from ad libs on set and decisions we made while filming. We all trust each other’s instincts and we’re honest about what we think does and doesn’t work. The goal in life is not to be liked by everyone. If every single person always accepts every single thing that you do, you’re doing something wrong. Instead of focusing on pleasing others, focus on being true to your authentic self and living a life that you will be proud of.”

From zombies to tight wagons this show has it all so make sure to tune in and "No Worries if Not" - although actually, there WILL be some worries if not... So tune in yeah?!Reading it, I was surprised the terms “asker” and “guesser” weren’t more widely known or used today, seeing as social nomenclature has hit peak interest. But no one I mentioned Ask/Guess culture to had heard of it, and everyone was intrigued as I was. The dichotomy explained a lot. Namely, to us, that we were guessers (mostly), which was making communication more complicated than it needed to be. Wouldn’t it be nice, we agreed, to simply ask for what we wanted in a straightforward way, and accept the answer without expectation? The sales pitch for Guess culture is that it’s more conscientious and considerate, but isn’t it equally true that by padding everything with caveats and easy outs, we assume people aren’t capable of asking or answering a yes or no question, of handling or expressing the truth? It’s okay. I appreciate you being honest with me, but you have done nothing that you need to worry any further about.
