RTE Late Late Show: Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson lead star-studded line up

Ryan Tubridy has announced this week's RTE Late Late Show line-up and it's set to be a star-studded edition of the show.

Irish actors Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan will join Ryan in studio this Friday. The three Dublin men star The Banshees of Inisherin which is out in Irish cinemas now.

The film sees Colin and Brendan play life-long friends who find themselves on opposite sides of the Irish Civil War. Padraic (Farrell) sets out to repair the damaged relationship with Colm (Gleeson) with the help of his sister Siobhan (Kerry Condon) and young troubled islander Dominic (Keoghan).

As well as Ryan's chat with the three Hollywood actors about island life and the Oscar buzz around the film, Ryan will be joined by none other than Mrs Brown's Boys star and creator Brendan O'Carroll. Brendan will chat to Ryan about his new autobiography Call Me Mrs Brown.

He will look back at long and varied working life. Brendan will also reflect on the inspiration of his own mum Maureen, who became Ireland's first first female Labour TD.

GAA fans are in for a treat as historian Dr Siobhan Doyle appears on Friday's Late Late Show. The first-ever hurling ball and the plaque that drove Armagh to victory in the 2002 All-Ireland Football Final are some of the famous objects that will be showcased by Siobhan.

Writer and designer Paul Galvin will also appear on Friday night's Late Late Show. He will discuss with Ryan weaving storytelling into Irish men's clothes and taking inspiration from the GAA pitch.

The special musical performance on this week's show will be from three talented young Irish performers who will soon be taking to the stage for Toy Show The Musical. Additionally, Moya Brennan and Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh will perform a special musical tribute for the victims of the tragedy in the Donegal village of Creeslough.

The Late Late Show airs this Friday at 9.35pm on RTE One and RTE Player.
