On radio at 6am is a funny place for PJ Gallagher to be

The comedian is revelling in co-hosting 4FM’s Classic Hits breakfast show, says Richard Fitzpatrick

PJ Gallagher is loving his new radio show. The comedian began anchoring Classic Hits 4FM’s breakfast show, alongside Damian Farrelly, in November. Even the 6am start doesn’t bother him.

“I get to finish work now before everyone is taking their lunch. You’re up before the weather is up to catch you. It’s a job I thought I would have loved for years and years and I never thought the chance would come around. I’m always running in and out of radio stations. I love being in them, so when they offered me a job … I’d hate to say it to them now, but they could have offered me ten grand a year and I would have gone, ‘Yeah’!”
