Treat yourself to a romantic night in this Valentine’s with comedy, conversation, and music to set your hearts on fire as RTÉ‘s Late Late Show goes mushy.

This Friday, award-winning actor, comedian and writer Steve Coogan will join host Patrick Kielty to talk about appearing in the stage version of Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin. He will also be talking about his iconic character Alan Partridge and how it felt to finally get his Irish passport.

American actress and Mad Men star Christina Hendricks and Irish actor and comedian Chris O’Dowd sit down with Patrick to chat about their new tv series Small Town, Big Story set-in rural Ireland. Chris will talk about filming in Ireland again and Christina will fill us in about her time on set.



Canadian comedian, writer, presenter and actor Katherine Ryan will also be in studio tomorrow night. For the night that’s in it, she will be chatting about her own love story and how she ended up marrying her high school sweetheart over twenty years after they first met.
