The cast of The Young Offenders have been announced to take to the stage for a conversation with Hilary Rose, hosting a live event of her podcast Live Wild. The one-off live event takes place in the Cork Opera House this Saturday July 22nd.
Guests, alongside Hilary Rose (who plays Mairéad in the show), will be Alex Murphy (Conor), Chris Walley (Jock), Demi Isaac-Oviawe (Linda), Jennifer Barry (Siobhán), PJ Gallagher (Principal Walsh), Orla Fitzgerald (Orla), and Dominic MacHale (Sergeant Healy).
The podcast created and presented by Hilary Rose, Live Wild, will host its first live event, a special evening at the Cork Opera House with Hilary in conversation with her co-stars on the TV show The Young Offenders, where there will be clips screened and an opportunity for the audience to ask their own questions.
This will be a chance to look behind the curtain of the multi-award winning TV series and movie. Rose will chat with her co-stars about the making of the series, their favourite funny moments and the ups and downs of life on a TV show.
“We did our very best to try make sure we held this live event on a date that would suit all the cast, but of course given that it is July we were conscious that one or two people might be on holidays,” said Hilary Rose. “We’re delighted that we have the vast majority of the cast on stage on Saturday, we hope to see you at the Opera House in Cork this weekend for this very special event. It will give the audience an opportunity to see the dynamics behind the scenes and give them an insight into how much craic we have behind the scenes and how that energy spills over onto the screen!”
Earlier in the year, the BBC in association with RTÉ recommissioned the hit comedy for a fourth season from producers Vico Films. This season, which recently wrapped filming, follows on from the TV series and the 2016 feature film.
Series 2 and 3, filmed back-to-back in 2019, drew in audiences from not only Ireland and the UK, but across the world, and the show garnered critical acclaim for its sensitive yet hilarious story-telling and performances.
The Young Offenders, created by Peter Foott, was commissioned for a fourth season for the BBC by Jon Petrie, Director of Comedy Commissioning and the Commissioning Editor for the BBC is Ben Caudell. The Series Producers for Vico Films are Peter Foott and Cormac Fox, with Executive Producers Lotte Beasley, Abby Singer and Michael Doherty. Commissioning Editor for RTÉ Comedy is Justin Healy.
