The 2 Johnnies have recorded a huge boost in profits at their joint firm.
According to the Sunday World, the popular podcast hosts shared directors’ pay of €404,183 last year, after their profits doubled.
Accounts show that post-tax profits at Big Ball Small Ball Productions Ltd, which is owned by the pair, doubled to €269,533 for the 12 months to the end of April last.
The profits of €269,533 are a 101pc increase in the €134,090 profits they recorded in the 12 months prior.
The pair – nicknamed Johnny Smacks and Johnny B – set up their hit podcast in 2018, and gained a huge surge in popularity when Johnny B shared his viral GAA Catfish story.
It’s success resulted in RTÉ allowing the pair to bring their act to 2FM in February 2022, where they host their own drive-time show called Drive It with The 2 Johnnies.
The duo also host a series of popular live gigs across the country, and landed their own RTÉ2 series, The 2 Johnnies’ Late Night Lock In, which aired last year.
According to the outlet, The 2 Johnnies also recorded a box office of €462,516 for their gig at the 3Arena in December 2022, which attracted over 8,500 fans.
The pair are hitting the road once again for a number of live shows in Dublin and the US.
They will host “Two Pints in a Field” in Dublin’s St Anne’s Park in June this year, which will also see a performance from Craig David.
The two will also bring their live show to San Francisco, Vancouver, Toronto, Chicago and New York City then to Australia for a number of dates in Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide.
