"In another bumper year for the two comedians, Johnny 'Smacks' McMahon and Johnny B O'Brien, accounts show that post-tax profits at the pair's Big Ball Small Ball Productions Ltd totalled €281,253 for the 12 months to the end of April last. The post-tax profits resulted in accumulated profits at the company rising above €1m for the first time to reach €1.13m at the end of last April."
"The post-tax profit of €281,253 for last year was a 38pc drop on the €453,682 figure for the previous year. Profits reduced as directors' pay, including pension contributions, for the two soared by 48pc from €485,447 to €718,993. Directors' pay was made up of €521,493 while pension contributions more than doubled to €197,500. The company employs four people, and staff costs last year, including directors' pay, increased from €568,175 to €802,465."
"Company coffers were boosted during the year under review with The 2 Johnnies recording a box office of €741,597 in front of 12,450 fans at the sell-out gig at Dublin's 3Arena in December 2024. During the year under review, The 2 Johnnies also staged their very successful Pints in a Field at St Anne's Park in Dublin in June 2024. It also coincided with an explosion in popularity for the 2 Johnnies' podcast where its 'GAA Catfish' episodes recorded over two million streams across the globe over four days last January."
