Comedian Jarlath Regan on donating his kidney to save his brother

Not everybody in life gets to become a hero but when the chance presented itself to the comedian and podcast star, Jarlath Regan, he grabbed it with gusto.

In an exclusive interview, which will be published in full in the Irish Examiner tomorrow, the 36-year-old, Co Kildare-born comic reveals how last June, as it became apparent that his only brother, Adrian, who is older than him by a decade, needed a kidney transplant, he didn’t have to think twice about it.
