'Dating or related?' Tipperary's 2 Johnnies introduce hilarious game to new series of show

Series three of the award winning, hit comedy entertainment series The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In was back on our screens tonight and it didn't disappoint!

Kicking off the brand new series of the show, the boys were joined by former champion jockey Davy Russell, the unpredictable and brilliantly funny stand up comic Russell Kane, a game of Dating or Related? on the streets of Laois, Rose of Tralee - Katelyn Cummins - popped into the bar to judge a special Lock In 'talent competition' and Dan McCabe sang a very special version of his hit Grace.

The show began with an interview with jockey Davy Russell where the duo asked him what he was given after his wins. "We'd get a trophy like a horse or champagne," he said. "Not like the godfather," quipped Johnny B to roars of laughter in the studio.

"I used to have a modelling contract, I was going to model socks," Davey then told the lads hilariously.

The 2 Johnnies then played a game of 'Dating or Related?', where a live stream is set up in a bar in Portlaoise and the audience must guess whether people on the screen are related or dating, with awkward and funny outcomes.

Comedian Russell Kane made some raunchy jokes about Rose Katelyn Cummins parents who were at the set, forcing Davy Russell to cover the poor Rose of Tralee's ears at one stage.

The comedian then shocked the crowd by telling them that he was 50 years old, which is hard to believe!

The parish quiz was back where locals had to answer questions about their local villages, like who sells the local shop the spuds! They then asked contestants to guess how much jockey Davy Russell weighed, bringing a scale out onto the set and all. 

Finn from Monaghan showed off his amazing talent for a new version of the Rose of Tralee called 'Mr Lock In', where he did a handstand while saying I am cheese in eight different languages. 

Tune in next Thursday for episode two of the new series on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player at 9:35pm.
