Our first-ever live show, recorded at the Kilkenomics Economics & Comedy Festival in Kilkenny, Ireland.

The sold-out event saw Simon and Mehreen take to the stage, discussing all things football with the prize-winning author Roddy Doyle.

Die-hard Chelsea fan Doyle spoke with H&H for over an hour, where they discussed topics such as:

  • Doyle's lifelong connection to Chelsea Football Club, its fan base, and Mehreen's experiences as a British Asian Chelsea fan
  • The role of football in Irish identity and culture—from traditionally supporting English cups to the legacy of the 1990 World Cup
  • The globalisation of football and the universality of football fandoms—the 'dark joy' of critique and how adversity creates deeper connections in the community
  • The legacy of Roy Keane
