Ireland! Home of the black stuff and the craic. The whole world wants to be Irish and sure why wouldn't they? So what happens if you actually are and you're shite at it? Christian Talbot looks awful in all 40 shades of green, and he's allergic to Guinness and rain. He can't speak the language and he's afraid of potatoes. Winner of the the 2014 Malcolm Hardee Cunning Stunt Award. 'An absolutely engaging performer' (Scotsman).

I mean, it's really heartbreaking to... I know about ten or twelve people very personally, really good friends, who are... they just have no venue now... They've really become very, very disillusioned."
