RTÉ LIFESTYLE: This week Hugo Malone, a retired school teacher, finally gets to pursue a life long dream to gig for one night as a stand up

 

It’s not the things you do in life that you regret, it’s the things you don’t do…

In Twenty-first century Ireland, we all have our ‘to do’ lists.  Whether it’s starting that pension or simply fixing that curtain rail.  But when time’s moving on, what’s really important on life’s ‘to do’ list?  Liberty Films finds out, in a new six-part series for RTÉ One entitled ‘One thing to do before You Die’.  The series follows older people, who may be getting on in years but are definitely young at heart, as they cross that ‘one thing’ off their list.

Episode Four

Hugo Malone, a sixty-something retired teacher from Mayo, spent 30 years teaching in a girl’s school and always encouraged his students to follow their dreams. Now it’s time for him to follow his own dream. Hugo’s first love is comedy. From Dylan Moran to Laurel and Hardy, and the one thing he has always wanted to do is a professional stand-up comedy gig. This week Hugo’s going to get his chance. We’ve arranged a gig for him; a prestigious support slot with one of his favourite comedians, Karl Spain, at a sold-out show in Cork City.
