Good news for fans of home grown talent.
Tonight at 10pm, RTÉ 2 debuted their new comedy Nowhere Fast, created by and starring Alison Spittle.
It tells the story of Angela, who has just been fired due to a massive disaster in her media career. She returns to her family home in a small town in the Midlands to lick her wounds and plan her next move.
As the show aired, viewers took to Twitter to sing the show’s praises, including the incredible one-liners, the total relate-ability, and Spittle’s absolute talent on show.
I’ve been far too invested in the fake game of Winning Streak on #NowhereFast SPIN THE WHEEL, for the love of god!
