Domhnall Gleeson teams up with brother Brian to write six part comedy series

Actor Domhnall Gleeson has teamed up with brother Brian to write a comedy series.

The pair along with their friend Michael Moloney are writing a six-part series and hope to star in it should it get picked up.

The 35-year-old, who starred in comedy sketch show Your Bad Self, said he enjoys doing comedy programmes.

The Dubliner told RTE: “I'd like to keep doing funny stuff, I think if I was going to do something it would have to be funny, the drama thing I adore but trying to work on something that's funny keeps you alive.”

Domhnall hopes that the show will be picked up by Channel 4.

Brian Gleeson reveals he 'resisted going into acting'  

He added: “That's been really good fun, so I mean, if that happens that would be great, but I wouldn't direct that, I think I'd be in that. Brian would be the lead.

“We had this fantastic director for the pilot who was really, really good and I liked her a lot so I would hope that she would come back if we went to series."

Domhnall and Brian previously starred together in their dad Brendan’s directorial debut Psychic, which was written by their brother Rory.
