“We’ll win your hearts in Mayo, but nothing else!”

It’s hard to believe that it’s been over three years since Covid arrived on Irish shores, and lockdown began.

One of the many industries affected by the health measures was the arts, with comedians stuck at home with nowhere to perform.

Stephen Kelly, a member of 3 Bucks Left, took to the internet to share rants, jokes, and observations, all with the hope to return to the stage once again.

The group now has over two hundred thousand followers across social media, with sold out live shows across the country.

JOE spoke to Stephen recently, and asked about his journey to online success.
