Incredible Offaly ban set to appear on tonight's The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In

In the fourth episode of The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In the lads are joined by Dancing with the Stars judge Karen Byrne, stand up comedian Andrew Ryan and former professional football player and manager Roddy Collins.

Also joining the lads this evening is the incredible Offaly band, Chasing Abbey, known for their hits Oh My Johnny and Arís Arís.

Karen Byrne tells the guys why she's addicted to dancing and how hard it was to find a dance partner in Ireland - let alone Ballyfermot - when she was a teenager. Karen also shares her thoughts on nerves during her first episode as a DWTS judge and her attitude towards faking it until you make it!

Cork comedian Andrew Byrne gets the crowd laughing with tales of dating and his Baby Reindeer nickname. Andrew also has some thoughts on Ireland's naval fleet and why members of the Irish navy are like Guards and teachers.
