The 2 Johnnies, Ireland’s favourite musical comedy duo, are heading to London for the first time to headline The O2 Brixton Academy on 16^th March 2023. Having conquered their homeland, they are now ready to bring their unique brand of cheeky Irish humour live to the UK.

“We plan to knock down every door and taboo with no topic too big or small when we bring the show to the people of London. Expect comedy, music, audience interaction, this gig has it all – expect a culture shock!”

The 2 Johnnies

The 2 Johnnies are Johnny “Smacks” McMahon and Johnny “Johnny B” O’Brien, from Tipperary, are the creators and hosts of Ireland’s biggest podcast, The 2 Johnnies Podcast. They are two regular guys from the countryside who’s insatiable hunger to engage with the world has led to their own TV series, sold out arena shows and headlining Electric Picnic Festival, performing to over 10,000 people.

The 2 Johnnies started performing together in 2016 when Johnny B, a hurler maker, and Johnny Smack, a butcher in Supervalu, were asked to MC a fundraiser at Cahir GAA.  Whilst on stage they realised they had chemistry, and together were a riot! Lead singer of Johnny B and The Boogeymen, Johnny B, realised comedy was his true passion and knocked music on the head. Johnny Smack quit his job and, within six months from that first MC gig, the pair were working full-time as the 2 Johnnies.

The 2 Johnnies Podcast

From the humble beginnings of Irish small town life sketches and self released music videos, The 2 Johnnies have gone on to produce Ireland’s no.1 podcast, three TV shows on Ireland’s state public service broadcaster RTÉ, ten number-one singles, a sold out live tour of the USA and Australia, and two sold out 5,000-capacity arena shows in Ireland. Their forthcoming Christmas Party show sold all 10,000 tickets in 7 minutes. 

Earlier this year they announced an exclusive deal to move their podcast to Spotify!  Over the past three years, they’ve welcomed numerous guests but recently interviewed Liam Gallagher and this was picked up everywhere from Rolling Stone to Radio One! 

The second series of their travel show “The 2 Johnnies Do America” has just aired and saw them travel from Juarez Mexico right up to New York via Atlanta, Texas, New Orleans, Nashville and Jersey Shore. The first series showed them touring the US and exploring the state of ‘Irishness’ in America.
