    About this ebook

    Ireland has produced some of the world’s most popular comedians. This ebook explores the lives and professions of its finest exports, such as Jimmy O’Dea, Cork’s favourite son Niall Tóibín, Dublin-born Maureen Potter, Hal Roach who spent 26 of his 60 years in showbusiness performing at Jury’s Irish Cabaret and Frank Kelly, a comedian who graduated from a bit part in the original Italian Job to the outrageous Father Jack Hackett in Father Ted, a series that also introduced Dermot Morgan as the title character.
