Whistle Through The Shamrocks
Hat Trick Podcasts, 2021
“a glorious comedy podcast that exploits all the Brit-bashing, potato-munching cliches of rural Ireland.”
“a laugh-a-minute riot”
“Nicola Coughlan and Camilla Whitehill are really levelling up the celebrity - doing - a - podcast genre, and bringing a heap of tongue-in-cheek as well.”
Whistle Through the Shamrocks was the ultimate lockdown project.
While sat at home, Derry Girls and Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan collaborated with her best friend Camilla Whitehill (Big Mood) to pen a totally mad comedy series, leaning on every “Oirish” stereotype in the book.
They brought it to us at Hat Trick, where we immediately saw its potential as a comedy podcast.
Nicola and Camilla then opened their vast address books allowing us to assemble an amazing cast. I defy any of you not to end up humming “Love and Potatoes” or Ben Miller’s evil rap after listening.
Available now.

About: It’s just a normal day of chip making and town cranking for the humble and impoverished O’Flanerhyn family in the sleepy Irish village of Ballysnavougherenn.
Things take an unexpected turn, however, with the arrival of their evil English landlord, his wife, and their very pretty and very English daughter… Can a family survive on love and potatoes alone? Or will the O’Flanerhyns crumble under the weight of British oppression?
