VIDEO: Kells comedian's arresting experience in the driving seat

Dublin born but living in Kells since 2009 Pearse Halpin has always had a foot firmly planted in the arts. Originally a singer/songwriter, this newspaper featured him in an article when he was signed to a German record label in 2014.
 
More recently, Halpin has teamed up with Joe McGucken of the Windup Merchantz to write a number of comedy clips featuring himself and McGucken as a pair of hapless Garda. The current clip features comedy star Jen Hatton as is getting serious exposure on social media. More sketches are currently being produced which will feature more comedians/actors including Chris Newman and Pauline McLynn.

Always writing comedy scripts and ideas for movies and TV Pearse was delighted to secure a slot on RTE's Shortscreen series last November. His first national broadcast, this gave him the push to write more and focus on script writing. This short movie featured Slane-based comedian Joe Rooney who Pearse has continued to work with. Joe also features in one of Pearse’s latest clips

Pearse has a few projects on the go. His TV series “In Control” is fully cast and in pre-production. Set in an emergency response call centre it is a “Mockumentary” fly on the wall it’s promises to be great fun!
