“If you don’t have enough assets to cover the difference between what’s provided by your retirement savings, streams of income or other sources of assets in retirement and your retirement spending requirements,” says Glenn Moore, CIO/CCO at Gordon Asset Management, LLC in Durham, North Carolina, “then it would make sense for you to take Social Security so you are not putting unnecessary stress on your retirement assets or your standard of living while deferring Social Security.” Of course, the situation need not be as dire as this, but you still might be experiencing a gap between what you have and what you need. This would generally be for a fairly dire financial situation.”

You sense that Twomey and Kirby aren’t just performing for ticket holders: they’re having the best night out with their favourite girlies. They want the raw reactions and fourth-wall-breaking back and forth between the stars and their audience. Plus, the crowd isn’t there for a polished performance.
Opening night wasn’t without a hitch, but Twomey and Kirby’s good-humoured reactions and improvisations are to be admired and the odd hiccup on day one is easily forgiven when the content is so engaging. There's even a Blind Date-style dating show in the middle to help Twomey find a boyfriend from the audience. They’re right, you know: those funeral cocktail sausages just hit different. It is a riot of laughs, featuring everything from their favourite ‘camp’ baptism moments - we’re looking at you, priest with a water gun of holy water during lockdown - and their ultimate funeral guide.
Glory Holy is an entertaining journey through the sacraments of the Catholic Church and their parallels to Kirby and Twomey’s lives as gay men. Nuala Kirby and Phil Twomey, both of whom are famous among the podcast’s fans, even joined their sons on stage for the final bow during a standing ovation in an emotional moment. High-pitched whooping and cheers filled the auditorium as the pair spoke on stage about their love lives, their First Communion (no really), and of course, their mams. Kevin Twomey and PJ Kirby in their Everyman dressing room. From quick-witted humour to outstanding dance moves (the opening number alone saw my jaw on the floor at their arm strength alone), Twomey and Kirby had the almost all-female crowd eating out of their hands as they chatted, danced and played bop after bop. It’s no surprise to us that the lads sold out their hometown, though: Kevin Twomey and PJ Kirby attract 50,000 listeners to their hit podcast each week since their off-the-cuff show began just three years ago.
