This is Highland Radio with Paul McDevitt. Yes, it is. And it's that time of the evening where you bring in the Lloyd Wands. The big guns are here. We welcome in. It's definitely after the watershed and I have to say, please, please don't swear. Ah, like Paul. No, I know tennis. Anyway, let's run and boil a little bit. You're very welcome. The Orange is the new green as the show. It's been on to the bar. Where else did it go? We've been all over the place. We've been in Stran. Obviously Paul first belongs to the show there. We then actually done the watershed theatre. We're talking about the last time. Yeah, and then we went to Castle Blaney, Oma, Ballet Buffet in the Ballard Theatre. And then back to Stran. We've done a couple nights there. And we're looking to sort of branch out a wee bit. So looking forward to the show on there. Kenny on the 10th of June. In the green. Very good. So just for people that don't know Orange is the new green. Roland, give us a sort of insight into it. So. I think the title speaks for itself only. So you have to come and see it. But it's supposed to start it off with me doing that video on Strabantar. I know that. I've never seen it go in circles. Strabantar would be like a page we went up on Facebook. Me and my mate Anthony Duffy. He was the Batman. You would know it too. It was all Strabantar. I know what it was like. It was all Strabant drugs. Hence the name Strabantar. And then you're trying to think of characters. I was thinking. Imagine you stood at Lutford Bridge dressed as an Orange man. Be welcome to the UK. I wonder how that would go down. Sash is all on. Sash. Moustache. Bowler hat. Lehype. And see the day I actually did it. The day I actually did it was there was rally. There's a famous rally day in Letter County. Happens every year. Don't they go rally? Don't they go rally? There you go. I think it is. Don't they go rally. I was standing with a big cut out by the cardboard. We welcomed the UK at Lutford Bridge. And it was like the cars were nearly bumping on the door. And then once we came around again, around the bridge, just to see what they seen. Did I see that? No, I didn't. The end of the three-day corner. We welcomed the London day. Cars were getting on them. Did everybody say anything about it? No. By the end I think it was established in Strabant. So you had. But the good thing about Strabantar was I was running round the end. Just sort of being an anti-Irish. That was the joke. I'm a Catholic dressed as an orange man, but I'm delusional. I just like oranges. I like taggers. I like, you know, mandrons. And any orange, she would have been. I like big, long walks. So just for some reason I was attracted to the orange order. But I was delusional with what it was to. Just because it was orange. Exactly. So the show we are doing, or we've been doing, and it's going really well. The baller sold out. And then it was somebody contacted us then because of the hair of it, how well it went in the baller. Yeah. And that was the one before we did Strabant. But that sold out. But the story is, like if you look at the videos, if anybody goes to the videos, they do well. They've went viral. But you couldn't do that for an hour and a half. Do you know what I mean? You're running around insulting people. Well, you couldn't. Well, you wouldn't keep an audience. I was at your boiler room that night. And I'll tell you what. You're fairly good at it, aren't you? I was the Emma McAweezer. Oh, that was one of the amazing... You sat at the front? Good man. No, no. I walked on, and there was me in North Shore, and Pudsy, and I said, oh, Jesus, look, there's only one sitting there in the front. And he sat there, and he just went, oh, he's just going to be trying here. But thank God, Pudsy was in front of me. He's back at us. He got it. He got it there, right? Well, him and C'monley, on that night, and it was just, that was my first time to hear him doing comedy. And it was just hilarious. So, and as our flew in... Oh, what? And Amon's actually in the play as well. Aye. He's the reverend. So, we needed the balance. So, the scene we set was Straban and the Yiddies during the Troubles. Yes. Do you know what I mean? So, I can identify with that because that is rare in the Bali coming to the States during the Yiddies and the Troubles, do you know what I mean? And that's what makes it more unique, because back then there was a lot of homophobia, not just Straban, but across the world, I'd say, or even the western world, and so we're looking at that, we're looking at deathly, we're looking at, like, sexual day, we're looking at... Ah, I mean, it's covering a wide range of issues, you know what I mean? I think the beauty about it is whenever you take the sort of character, the sort of Catholic orange man character, that it's unheard of, you know what I mean? And you're obviously going to have a reaction from people. So, we're looking to tackle some quite modern day issues as well, you know what I mean? Is there a serious element to put on there? There is. There is. There's a serious undertone. Now, the play's comedy from Sturtly Funnish, and it's laughing from... There's a good message. Sturtly Funnish, but there's a message in it around acceptance and tolerance and all of that stuff bringing it together, you know, it's not... We're not just, kind of, as Ronan says, we're not just getting up and he's running through the audience and insulting people for whatever. Not that he could do it, you're right. We've got the benefit through a hindsight because we're doing areas. We know what's common. We know what's in the future so we can talk about stuff that's never going to happen, is it? And you know what I mean? We know what's on, like, conventions that come in the future and just the way the country went as well. Man is in the cast. There's... Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. Nine. They all know them, they're all there. They don't have to go too far, if you're right. So, because of my behaviour, the play goes from me really being a closet orange man, do you know what I mean? Instead of a transgender, I'm a trans member, you know what I mean? I'm dressing up behind closed doors, doing my wee thing and all, but then I want to come out. But my behaviour gets everybody suspect, so look on the area, I think I'm out. The wife thinks I'm having an affair. She's overhearing me having phone calls with people and it's just to meet the good mountain. You know what I mean? Yes. And we've got all them themes, don't we? We've got an area man who's obviously, well, he's not obviously, but he's camped up. But, like, I knew a lot of the gay men would have tried to hide their, you know what I mean? Back in the days, would have been wanting to go to cities and stuff to get accepted and stuff like that. So, it's sort of obvious, but it's not coming out. Come out at different stages, but then I make the transition under the orange man, then that everybody sees. And that's where it gets a bit mental, then. But then we bring it together and it's got a good message and it's good crack. It's a good message because it's somebody who has been rejected and kind of frowned upon. And then it sort of comes together. There's an overall message in that about how you treat people, how you leave them feeling, all that kind of stuff. So, guaranteed an absolutely fantastic night's laugh. There's no doubt about it. It's great. And as a cast doing it, and even whenever we were writing it, the good thing about it is whenever we were writing it, we laughed quite a lot. But then obviously, you know yourself, whenever you're doing a show, the more that you do it, it doesn't become that funny to you anymore because you're doing it over and over again. And remember, just the night before we done it and the alley for the very first time. Is this good? Is this going to be funny? Because we actually started writing it before COVID. Right? Just before COVID and then COVID had. So we actually booked the alley before we finished it. Ah, that's right. No, you put yourself under a pressure, yeah. So it was a work in progress for maybe two years, but we didn't even look at it over that whole COVID period because you knew, well, I mean, there was actually a point where I thought, you know what, this is never going to happen. We'll never bring it to this stage. But we eventually did. And as I say, we were sitting and panicking, is this going to work? Is this going to be funny? And I went down an absolute bomb. We probably thought, all right, Strabant's probably been kindest, you know what I mean? Because it's like, well, it's our home town and it's based in Strabant and so on. But then, now that we've taken it, that we've traveled, we can see it works and a whole lot of our venues, you know? That's a good way to take it. We have to get the predominantly proxneries to you, but the last time you were up, you were taking it to the water side. Yes. Would have been July last year then, right now. And I'm not saying you're apprehensive, but you were all about to eat it. Because that's what I was going to say. And the first two scenes, I'm on the rack, you know what I mean? So I was just armed-folded and staring up me for two scenes. And we just left, like, that Friday night, Mr. Bam was probably the most laughter and applause I've ever heard, and I hanged it from stand-up, these shoes and all. So I thought, this is amazing. And then we went to the next place, then it was... But I think that that theatre was just doing the right... Let's see how much of a balancerousness it was, you know what I mean? And it did go well, then. It worked really well? It worked really well, yeah. The first two scenes were trying to see what was that about. It was actually a good second place for us to go, because we thought, we're delving in the unknown territory here. Not too sure. People may be offended by this. Do you know what I mean? And, look, listen, if people are, that's not intentional. Big risk, but... Big risk, Paul. So it worked really, really well. Do you know what I mean? And we had all of the people that organised the actual event, coming this afterwards and saying, boy, that was absolutely fantastic. Everybody had a great night. They really enjoyed it. So that kind of told us, saying, well, you know what? There's good balance in the show. It's going to work for a generic audience. We don't need to worry that much about the sort of offensive side of it, if you like. Hi, but I know there were... Just people who are touchy at times with certain things. That's good that you handled it. They were handling the flitsuit around Letter of Canter, and it looked like it was an accent day. LAUGHTER He's been me handling the photos and manning around. Banned through London, they're like, right? We done the show in Castle Blaney, and I was doing a bit of work down around County Louth, and I was coming back, I thought to myself, you know what, I'm going to do the sort of areas around it, and they ended up in Cross McLean. And I went down to a fallen station, and at these big posters with me, we his big face in front of it, hey, with a... Would you just say, hand the set? And as I was walking under the fallen station, these two fellas were like, I don't even catch on, really. And the two boys just doubled... They just double-tucked it, going, basically, where are you going? I don't know all the places they go to, do you? I don't know all the places they go to. I mean, they're tickets, so people want tickets for it. You just get on the Angrenon website, and under there. I have a link to you on Roboild Comedy, on my linked tree, it's called. You just go in there, and it pays us Roboild Comedy on TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. And there'll be a wee link in me bio. You just go in there and you'll get it. Or you could also call on the Angrenon, if you're local, the letter Kenny, or the phone number, I imagine. Oh, you would, I would. I like to take a rest, you know what I mean? There was, like, the second most important football finals on the same night. Champions League, so on. We don't realize, but... Never worry about it. They don't want to laugh, they watch that. Watch use more than much. So you're going to get a laugh, and the feedback we got from the baller was on real. That's brilliant, so give us the date again. The 10th of June. 10th of June, which is... Saturday, week. Tickets are available at the Angrenon box office, or you can go to the Angrenon Theatre if you want. Nile and Ronan, thanks very much. Thank you very much, thank you very much.
