Comedian Babatunde Aléshé explores county Clare in new Channel 4 mini-series
Millions of people across Britain to follow top comedian’s Ireland adventure in new Tourism Ireland-Channel 4 partnership
Tourism Ireland has partnered with Channel 4 to create a new mini-series starring British comedian, writer, actor and podcaster Babatunde Aléshé on his latest adventure – this time around Clare and Ireland.
Babatunde is no stranger to wild adventures but has never fully explored Ireland before now. Armed with nothing but his passport, a backpack and a microphone, the comedian is relying on the warmth and recommendations of the locals he meets along the way to guide and inform him about where he should visit next.
He visits lots of our hidden gems and meets some great characters, as he explores counties Derry, Donegal, Galway and Clare.
The digital-first mini-series, titled Where to Next?, includes three episodes, is now available to view on Channel 4’s YouTube channel.
The partnership also includes a specially created page on Tourism Ireland’s website, Ireland.com.
In the third episode, viewers will see Babatunde making and tasting chocolate at Hazel Mountain Chocolate and oyster shucking at Flaggy Shore Oysters. Episode three is available to watch.
Julie Wakley, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Great Britain, said: “Tourism Ireland is delighted to support the production of this new mini-series, fronted by well-known comedian, writer, actor and podcaster Babatunde Aléshé.
"His Irish road trip will take him from coasts to city streets, highlighting our fantastic scenery, culture, attractions and, most importantly, our local characters.
“The partnership is expected to have 4 million views across Channel 4’s social media platforms, so it’s a wonderful opportunity to inspire travellers in Great Britian to put Ireland on their holiday wish-list.”
