RTร have today announced thatย The Late Late Showย is going on the road and will be broadcast from Limerick onย Friday March 13th.
Ryan Tubridy andย The Late Late Showย team areย packing up and crossing West for what promises to be a spectacular show. In the weekend leading up to St Patrick’s Day 2020,ย Fรกilte Ireland have inspiredย The Late Late Showย to hit the road and discover this beautiful country of ours.
Theย Late Late Show Live in Limerickย will showcase the best and brightest of Irish talent, celebrate Irishness and community spirit, and be broadcast live from theย University Concert Hallย on Friday March 13th on RTร One.
The upcoming show will mark the first time in Ireland thatย The Late Late Showย has been broadcast outside of its studio in Donnybrook since an external broadcast from Wexford Opera House in 2008.ย In October 2018,ย The Late Late Showย travelled to the UK and was broadcast from London.
Hostย Ryan Tubridyย said:”Since The Late Late Show came back in September, we have noticed an appetite with viewers for a celebration of Ireland, what’s great about this country of ours, the wonderful people, the positives…
“The point of our upcoming trip to Limerick is that we are celebrating the best of Irish. Whatever walk of life you are in, whatever professional field you happen to be in, wherever it happens to be, we will be looking at you and sayingย ‘we think you are wonderful’.
“In a world that tends to focus on the negative too much, we like to strive to buck that trend. Irish people love this island, The Late Late Show loves Ireland and we cannot wait to get this show on the road and head West.”
Dr. Des Fitzgerald,ย President, University of Limerick, said:ย “We are all thrilled at the University of Limerick to be chosen as the venue for the first live outside broadcast of the RTร Late Late Show in Ireland in over a decade.ย Our University Concert Hallย is the ideal venue to host Ryan Tubridy and a huge studio audience next month. We look forward to seeing the RTร trucks rolling onto campus on March 13th.”
