There's Something about Patrick

Documentary in which comedian Neil Delamere travels through Ireland and beyond to discover the truth about Ireland's patron saint.

Documentary in which comedian Neil Delamere travels the length and breadth of the country (and beyond) to meet experts, historians and St Patrick's Day revellers to discover the truth about Ireland's patron saint.

Along the way he takes to the stand-up stage to share his hilarious and often irreverent observations about St Patrick, while comedy sketches starring some of Ireland's best comedic talent shows an entirely new side to the Patrick we thought we knew.

Not content to just separate the truth about Patrick from the myth, Neil physically gets to grips with life in Ireland during Patrick's time. He experiences pagan customs, wrangles snakes, gets kidnapped and taken across rough seas, climbs Croagh Patrick barefoot, and eats, dresses and travels like Patrick, all in an attempt to figure out the man behind the mitre.
