Cork Podcast Festival: Conversations with Cornelius with Chris Kent

Comedians Cornelius O’Sulivan and Chris Kent come together for a live show where they discuss everything that matters to them and some things that don’t matter at all; Fatherhood,, Comedy, Marriage, Conspiracy Theories, GAA, Metalism, Weed, Psychedelics, Kids, Spirituality, Love, Sadness.

Cornelius is a middle-aged analogue man in a metaverse of confusion. A comedian, improviser, writer, podcaster and actor Cornelius has performed all over and has played at festivals the ilk of Edinburgh Fringe and Kilkenny Cat Laughs. Television credits that include Republic of Tele and RTÉ 2 Sketch show called ‘Sketch’, Cornelius is absolutely perplexed as to why Stephen Spielberg hasn’t rang his landline to offer him a big movie role. ‘Any day now’ he can often be heard muttering to himself. Recently Cornelius has garnered attention for his GAA based sketch videos, raking up tens of thousands of views online!

Hailing from ‘The Rebel County’ (That’s Cork for anyone outside Ireland), Chris Kent gave up the day job as an electrician to pursue his calling in comedy. He emerged onto the Irish comedy scene in 2009 after winning the Bulmers Nuttin’ But Funny competition. By 2010, he rocked Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens and claimed the Comedy Smack Down at Galway’s festival. Opening for icons like Dylan Moran, he gained traction, marked as “One To Watch” by The Dubliner. Despite a humorous bout with mumps in Edinburgh, Chris flourished, joining RTE Radio 1’s The Second Republic. His routines grew, from 2013’s ‘Second Fix’ to 2020’s ‘Christy Doesn’t Live Here’.
