Series three of the award winning, hit comedy entertainment series The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In is back on your screens, celebrating the very best of all things Irish. An unmissable and unpredictable hour of celebrity guests, live music, stand up comedy and surprise visits to members of the public out and about on the streets of Ireland. It's the party-in-a-pub everyone will want to be at!
To kick off the brand new series of The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In, the boys are joined by former champion jockey Davy Russell, the unpredictable and brilliantly funny stand up comic Russell Kane, a game of Dating or Related? on the streets of Laois, Rose of Tralee Katelyn Cummins pops into the bar to judge a special Lock In talent competition' and Dan McCabe sings a very special version of his hit Grace.
Johnny B said, A comedian, a national hero and 2 Johnnies walk into a bar it's can only be The Late Night Lock In. There's no show like it on telly. It's hot, sweaty and loose. The questions you'd only ask after a few jars, great Irish music and a pub full of nutters up for the craic.
Johnny Smacks said, Somehow they've let us back on the telly for series 3, and this time we're dragging the public into the madness with us. More craic, more chaos, and more people embarrassing themselves on national TV - including us. It's the only show where your neighbour might end up blindfolded, eating cat food, and still call it a great night out. We've got brand new madness, even dodgier games, the return of The Parish Quiz and guests who should probably know better. So put on the kettle and get the good biscuits out we will see ya tonight on the telly.

S3 E3 The 2 Johnnies Davy Russell chats about broken bones and injuries through the years, being the designated driver on nights out, the night his buddy was covered in sheep faeces and had to strip off in the back of Davy's car . and then they got stopped by a Garda!
S3 E3 The 2 Johnnies Newly crowned Rose of Tralee Katelyn Cummins is an apprentice electrician. The 2 Johnnies ask her if the guys she works with are treating her any differently now that she's the Rose- she says they don't give a sh*t but they like her new car!
S3 E3 The 2 Johnnies Russell Kane chats celebrating his 50th birthday in Ibiza and making a conscious decision to optimise his fitness and health.
In the Parish Quiz Aisling from Killeedy in Co. Limerick takes on Tadhg from Nurney in Co. Kildare. The prize a trip to Las Vegas or a bag of spuds is at stake!
For this and lots more chaotic craic tune in tonight on RT 2 and RT Player at 9:35pm.
