Hooma Comedy presents:
A Celebration of Father Ted with Joe Rooney
Share:
TweetJoin us in celebrating one of the greatest sitcoms ever made, as we welcome renowned stand-up Joe Rooney for a night of all things Father Ted!
Joe featured as the rebellious Father Damo in the classic Father Ted episode The Old Grey Whistle Theft, leading Dougal astray with his earring, cigarette smoking and bad-boy attitude.
Joe will host a screening of the episode, take you behind the scenes and set you a Craggy Island quiz–then prepare yourself for an all-inclusive ‘Lovely Girls Competition’ have you got the loveliest laugh, the loveliest walk, and can you make the loveliest sandwich?
There will also be a dancing priests competition, plus appearances from a nursery-rhyme singing Ziggy Stardust, Nirvana, Johnny Cash and many more – and the evening wouldn’t be complete without a sing-along to ‘My Lovely Horse’!
Come and meet Joe and immerse yourself in the very silly delights of Father Ted.
Ah, go on...you will! “
A purveyor of choice gags, a natural storyteller, guitar in hand, Joe Rooney delights the room with his infectiously manic delivery.” - Ardal O’Hanlon

Excellent advice from Martin who, as an experienced MC and comedian really knows the business inside and out. Had a clear vision of how to highlight the key points in MC ing a night. Happy to answer questions and very focused session. Learned a lot and looking forward to the next session.

We only paid £2.50 as we didn't know if the acts would be any good. 2 of the acts were top notch! Would have paid more to see them. Might be worth having a bucket at the door or card reader for anyone who would like to donate more. Also - toward the end, the customers at the back were getting a bit rowdy, making it hard to hear the act. Be worth the bar staff stepping in to let the customers know they're not watching TV.

I attended a comedy night hosted by Tom Alban, featuring John Mann, Hazel Donovan, Nelson Gombakomba, and Aaron Roy. It was an absolute blast! Tom Alban's hosting was top-notch, keeping the energy high throughout the evening. Each comedian brought their unique style, delivering non-stop laughter. John Mann's witty observations, Hazel Donovan's sharp humor, Nelson Gombakomba's hilarious anecdotes, and Aaron Roy's clever jokes had the audience in stitches. The atmosphere was electric, and the comedy was on point from start to finish. I highly recommend this comedy night to anyone looking for a fantastic evening of laughter and entertainment!
