Colm O'Regan can't wait to balance a bag of chips on his thigh while brandishing a can of lager at All Together Now.

Festivals. I missed them. I took them for granted. Me somewhere in a sweltering hotel function room or a tent talking to a melting crowd about my observations on life.

Every joke set-up that used to begin with, “Is it just me or does anyone else…?” felt redundant during the pandemic anyway. Due to social distancing, it was just me.
