Irish actress Aisling Bea has joined the cast of comedian Romesh Ranganathan’s BBC One comedy AVOIDANCE, as filming starts on the second series. The comedian is one of several familiar comedy names joining the sitcom, also including Colin Hoult, Michael Spicer, Louise Ford (who plays Kate in THE WINDSORS) and Brona C Titley from Stephen Merchant’s THE OUTLAWS. No broadcast date has yet been announced for the six new half-hour episodes.
From tragedy to comedy and everything in between, Irish comedian, actor and writer Aisling Bea tells us what’s really important. The Kildare actress can currently be seen in GREATEST DAYS, based on the Take That jukebox musical of the same name. Her work is an invitation to the space we don’t have words for. Or maybe rather what we only have words for.
Aisling Bea is ready to shine in the new film adaptation of the Take That musical and we’ve finally got our first look at the movie. The Irish actress and comedian shared her delight at being cast in the big-screen adaptation early last year, perfectly titled GREATEST DAYS, which will incorporate the hit music of the 90s boyband. The film, based on the stage musical The Band, is described as being a feel-good story of love and friendship. Aisling plays the character of Rachel O’Flynn who is the band’s self confessed ‘biggest fan in the whole entire world’.
Irish talents Aisling Bea and Pauline McLynn will guest star in an upcoming DOCTOR WHO New Year’s Day special. It was announced that the Irish comedian will next appear in the “Doctor Who” holiday special. The upcoming episode of DOCTOR WHO, EVE OF THE DALEKS will also include Irish actress Pauline McLynn and actor Adjani Salmon.
James Corbin welcomed Aisling Bea to his late show and she recalls her long days working as an elf and why we need to really show more love to the unsung hero of the holidays. Is she really champion of the elves?
