Galway features in a new mini-series starring British comedian, writer, actor and podcaster Babatunde Aléshé.

Tourism Ireland has partnered with Channel 4 to chart his his latest adventure, around Ireland.

Babatunde is no stranger to wild adventures but has never fully explored Ireland before now.

Armed with nothing but his passport, a backpack and a microphone, the comedian is relying on the warmth and recommendations of the locals he meets along the way to guide and inform him about where he should visit next.

He visits lots of our hidden gems and meets some great characters, as he explores Galway.

The digital-first mini-series, titled Where to Next?, includes three episodes, which will be available to view on Channel 4’s YouTube channel. The episodes will also be promoted on the Channel 4 streaming platform, as well as on Channel 4’s Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

The promotion is expected to have four million views across Channel 4’s social media platforms alone. The partnership also includes a specially created page on Tourism Ireland’s website, Ireland.com.

In the third episode, available to watch now, viewers will see Babatunde visit Galway city, the Blackrock Diving Tower in Salthill and learn all about the GAA with Experience Gaelic Games at Liam Mellows GAA Club.

Julie Wakley, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Great Britain, said: “Tourism Ireland is delighted to support the production of this new mini-series, fronted by well-known comedian, writer, actor and podcaster Babatunde Aléshé.

“His Irish road trip will take him from coasts to city streets, highlighting our fantastic scenery, culture, attractions and, most importantly, our local characters.

“The partnership is expected to have four million views across Channel 4’s social media platforms, so it’s a wonderful opportunity to inspire travellers in Great Britian to put Ireland on their holiday wish-list.”
