History

Your Bad Self stars Domhnall Gleeson as well as Michael McElhatton, Justine Mitchell and Peter McDonald.[1] The show is produced by Ben Kelly for Treasure Entertainment (I Went Down and Mad About Dog) and was co-written by director John Butler, producer Ben Kelly, Eoin Williams, Justine Mitchell and Emily Fairman. It is directed by John Butler, the co-writer and director of George and Spacemen Three for the Irish Film Board.[2]

In June 2009, RTÉ commissioned a six-part series of Your Bad Self. The series will be filmed towards the end of 2009 and broadcast early in 2010. Amy Huberman and Andrew Bennett from Your Bad Self appeared on The Cafe on January 8, 2010.[3]

Reaction

Declan Lynch of the Irish Independent compared Your Bad Self to its similar BBC counterpart The Fast Show, judging it to be "highly-nuanced and deeply intelligent comedy".[4] His counterpart John Boland sat through it in "stony silence".[5] Paul Whittington said it was "fresh and original" with a "good and dark" tone.[6]
