American actress and Mad Men star Christina Hendricks and Irish actor and comedian Chris O’Dowd sit down with Patrick to chat about their new TV series Small Town, Big Story set-in rural Ireland. Chris will talk about filming in Ireland again and Christina will fill us in about her time on set.
Also on the show, award-winning actor, comedian and writer Steve Coogan will join Patrick to talk about appearing in the stage version of Stanley Kubrick’s Dr Strangelove at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin.
Of course, he couldn’t be on the show without talking about his iconic character Alan Partridge, and he’ll speak about how it felt to finally get his Irish passport.
Canadian comedian, writer, presenter and actor Katherine Ryan will also be in the studio on Friday night. Katherine has carved out a hugely successful career on this side of the pond and will join Patrick to tell him about her Cork roots and her upcoming Irish gigs.

For the night that’s in it, she will also chat about her own love story and how she ended up marrying her high school sweetheart over twenty years after they first met.
She won’t be Out of Reach as singer-songwriter Gabrielle will be joining Patrick ahead of her gig in the 3Arena. The 90s icon will be chatting about her meteoric rise to fame, chart success and what’s next for her. She will also be performing two of her smash hits, Dreams and Rise.
