There is no easy way to write about what just went down in the Hot Press Speakeasy Tent with David McSavage! But we're gonna try...
Talk ranged from The Marriage Referendum to, well, anything that caught McSavage’s eye.
Wearing a newly purchased sheepskin coat, McSavage admitted that he realised that it made him, "look like a c*nt."
Highlights? There were many. Here’s a selection.
"Look at you people, I hate all of you."
"It was so gratifying to see Des Bishop die on his hole, like an X Factor contestant."
"I’m so depressed."
"Resentment is a part of our culture.“
"Patrick McDonnell, he’s got a big head but he’s the finest comedian I know."
"I’m very lonely. I walk around the canal and am just waiting to die."
"I’m just like a piece of meat with gas coming out of my hole."
One brave soul had enough intestinal fortitude to ask the Savage Eye comedian a question about what he thinks of the state of satire in Ireland today. Before getting an answer he was told that he looked like a "young communist that would die for his cause." McSavage then went on to answer him seriously and with a sincerity we hadn’t seen thus far. "Where’s the 'Fuck You'? There’s no 'Fuck You' left in Ireland. You only know satire is working when the people you are satirising are pissed off with you".
And then it was over, wild and anarchic it was exactly what you’d expect from McSavage and a bloody good time!
