Well, in unexpected news today – Damo and Ivor are getting a movie.

Many of you probably remember bopping around to the lads at Wez… and now they're all set for the big screen.

The guys' comedy show is being made into a feature film and production is due to start later this summer.

Andy Quirke, who played the roles of both Damo and Ivor, will don his glad rags once more, while Ronan and Rob Burke, who directed the second series of Damo & Ivor, will direct the flick.

Ronan and Rob said: “We are beyond excited to be directing Damo & Ivor The Movie. It is a hilarious script that brings these characters to the big screen in a big way. 

The fans will not be disappointed, it's gonna be whopper!” 

While Andy added:  “With a fan base as big as this I really feel it will break some records! I can’t wait for the fans to come on this next part of the journey.”

The film will be based around the lads finding out they have a long lost brother, John Joe. The adventure takes the brothers across Ireland where they discover that sometimes you can’t judge a book by its cover.

The movie is due to hit cinemas next year, but for now, we'll leave you with this little tidbit:

RTE funnyman Andy Quirke has revealed that while on holiday with his girlfriend Grace Power, 25, the pair had a very terrifying experience.

The Damo & Ivor star, 27, and his girlfriend were in Puerto Banus on the Costa Del Sol when Grace was spiked at a bar.

The pair were staying with their friends on Thursday night when an opiate-based drugs was put in Grace’s drink. She then had to be rushed to hospital, reports the Mirror.

Andy took to Facebook to explain the ordeal and he believes that their group were deliberately targeted by a criminal gang when distracted by a street performer. He wrote his message on Facebook as a way of warning for any others.

“I just want to pass on a warning to all my friends that maybe in and around Puerto Banús Marbella. Last night whilst out with friends my girlfriend was drugged with a opiate based drug [sic}.”

He continued to explain how he believes they were the victims of criminals in the area. He explained how a street performer had approached them to do a magic trick and that’s when they think Grace’s drink was spiked.

“While looking at the magic show I believe that the two guys behind us dropped this drug into Grace’s drink. 30 mins later when we left Grace collapsed outside the bar and we struggled to find any authorities to come to our help.”

While he managed to get Grace to hospital and have her assessed by a medical team, he said she was left badly shaken by the incident.

He also mentioned that there have been 12 such similar incidents in the areas in the last week alone.

Andy and Grace, a nurse orginally from Clonmel, have been together for the last year and Andy has said that the ordeal was terrifying and he does not want anyone else to have the same experience.
