Brian Dowling and Arthur Gourounlian shared the screen on The Six O’Clock for a week this summer.
And now they’ll be sharing the stage.
The couple made Irish history as the first married gay couple to host an Irish chat show together.
And it looks like they loved working together so much that they’ll be joining The Stadium Panto, Aladdin.

They will play the role of Genie in the play, swapping the role between them, so you’ll never know which one will pop out of the lamp!
“OK, the Genie is out of the bottle… or rather, The Magic Lamp: we @gourounlian are so excited to be doing panto this Christmas…OH YES WE ARE!!!” Brian wrote on social media.
“We are both playing The Genie in Aladdin – Sammy & Buffy, and the Magic Lamp at the fabulous @thestadiumpanto.”

He continued: “We will be sharing the role live on stage, and you will never know which Genie will pop out of the lamp. We are both huge fans of The Stadium Panto, Sammy Sausages & Buffy, so this is very special. I am so looking forward to making my panto return this year.
“I’ve done Panto four times previously & Arthur is making his Panto debut. He is in for a real treat as it’s so much fun. This Panto is going to be SUPER CAMP. You can book at panto.ie now!”
We can’t wait!
