Pull up a stool at Finnegan’s Bar as Allan and Tom welcome award-winning comedian  Hayley Ellis  for an evening of laughs, stories, and good company. Hayley has written for  Russell Howard’s Good News  and  8 Out of 10 Cats , and you may have heard her on  Absolute Radio . Warm, witty, and wonderfully down-to-earth, Hayley was an absolute joy to have on the podcast.

Connor also had the honour of being part of the original company on Moulin Rouge in the west end. Should be a top n...

Every week Finnegan's goes head to head with Love Island for viewer ratings. It's hard to tell who comes out on top in that battle... It's a close run thing but it's fair to say Love Island probably just edges it. So... if you can't beat them then join them is what we've decided and we are going to find out what all the fuss is about with a few guests who love both Love Isl...
