Energized Show episode with Dublin social-media comedian Darren Conway, hosted alongside Ross/Roscoe, recorded during early COVID-19 lockdown (published 26 March 2020). Conway describes building an audience through low-production Facebook sketches years earlier, then gaining traction on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok (~45k TikTok, ~23k Twitter, ~70k Facebook followers at time of recording), and cross-posting the same clips across platforms. He explains his spontaneous sketch process, multi-character self-talk videos, and filming separately from family in the attic. Stand-out moments include a viral Twitter exchange with Lewis Capaldi and a back-and-forth video titled "My Duty MMA" that drew a reply from Coach Kavanagh offering an MMA masterclass if the clip gained enough traction. Conway says pre-lockdown brand deals and a multi-location sketch episode were shelved by quarantine; he and Ross had recently started the Energized podcast and were pivoting to Zoom guests. He cites Dave Mack Savage and Tony Cantrell as stand-up influences, says past stand-up offers never appealed until recent video growth gave him stage-ready material, and plans a stand-up debut and more cinematic sketches once restrictions lift. He still works full-time (~40 hours) at a pool but intends to move on. Hosts close urging hand-washing and mutual support among Irish creators.

just won't share look and then that just goes straight to I don't look at anything like you know a it's just whatever is there is there a list of people on Facebook that don't use Twitter and Instagram yeah that's the thing you have to feed them all that yeah you see your content is really like share friendly whereas like ours are obviously dead hung for my podcast so like day exact

yeah man you doing Brady and the problem is not many people actually creating content good content in around especially so like when myself and Russ were always looking around seeing who's trying to do stuff to like first of all back them will support them as well and hope oh well like Nami we're really going through what do you think nobody will actually be on that like kind of doing like the video like yourself like Alf or and stuff it what you think people aren't really doing it like Jamie J carbs he's doing stuff as well yeah like why aren't more people doing yeah what yeah what did you

you know yeah so like it's like I always ask me so anyone else doing that I wouldn't anyone else a that before yes it's something that everyone's talked about in other way except that I see I've seen like you Mary Lou McDonald no we're best friends [Music] best friends like you know I mean it's like a no no no Texan there she doesn't even follow me on anything that's the strange thing upset about

man he's [ __ ] unbelievable yeah the way was shot was perfect it really would look he got everything it's got OMG my favorite videos of you are when you talk to yourself as another character or like you just you again I think they're brilliant the comedic effect like many people are how do you think with like the camera angles and ROI and it's the same person like I want people to think that I want people to comment so it's it's definitely I don't know porpoise look yeah I think it's genius yeah that goes down in the house cause like Oh see well unless you live alone like are the family just like what's he do again I think I'm segregated from the whole house coronation put me in the Attic and it's not even a comparator backtick it's just like share up there on the Christmas tree decorations to the tree every year there yeah I don't even think they should hear me look down the kitchen I said no go on just get chosen she's a messy farm yeah well she lives messy yeah I'm downstairs going on she's a good one do today watch your videos back look I think me my own would probably like cuz like she has the page like she's not like on Twitter and Instagram and stuff like that say look she just like say okay that's a bit really like you know yeah now she's down today you're making show yourself on knowing the world works yeah like yeah be like what are you stay on you know they don't really get concepts of podcasts or share online they're always like this kind of thing where it's like it's a making your money know financially and more you're doing it yeah but that's the only donating and he keep build it like myself Ross we just we did like a first law podcast area for econ and like the people we had on the show it was just like right now we're hungry and then like we had a couple of brands in contact with us and then this coronavirus happens and you're just like what we doin else then we're like right search there zooming people a case Katia it yeah that's the salient me said like I had like a couple of things low and overlooked not like actually confirmed but like on paper and I was confident that could get it done you know that way yeah and after the drunk have enough video and then it's just this happened so back to back the basic students and videos in the kitchen yeah but you woke up to look at it yeah we go 13 well no you put 30 on all those video 30 oh that's doable the skill hey I don't really now to be honest man it's just the orders people I enjoy hearing my voice would be my Dave Mack Savage and they're like Tony Cantrell and stuff like that I think they like Tony kind of that scenery doing the stand-up and I like throw away from social media like local / - it you know that way because I want to do some stand-up and I think he's a great example of going from a social media to stage yeah what about a gives a laugh as well.she class that's something we definitely under bring open to it like going into the air don't need to stand up yeah to my cousin's just went into it but like the doors there someone must be knocking on your door being like here Troy our our place yeah I've got a few like offers for stand up cakes in the past like but enough I really like gravitated toward stand up what's only ever since the week down and all these videos that's kinda like if you want to say blown up or whatever as made me say yeah have material good I could probably bring this to the stage yeah whereas beforehand I didn't really have concrete material or kind of concrete and one-liners and stuff like that that would squinting work well on stage so we're going to develop that online already I think so definitely like do a show when this is all over yeah I think right now you've just totally polished what you're doing and you have the perfect formula especially online so I mean stand up there and then you should definitely do because you can't really do like a meet-and-greet or because people want to see you perform you know and so that's there no I wouldn't do a meet and greet and all that stuff like that's just a bit lame because like more for picture agency it's great to see it smells nice smells of John Paul Gautier you doose's handsome as yarn purses your are online where's the money Mary are you still working the pool yeah well now board still on there I'm doing it in 40 hours my full-time

true this situation we're just sort of see things going next like what are certain things people should def you down how am i doing because because there is a guy feel like you've completed this level whatever level you think you're out I think there's again a comb and like where do you wanna push it you know what kind of want to do more like like sketch-based of where it's actually like quality
