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

Had a great night! Mrs Smith was just as funny in person and I couldn't stop laughing.

A great night out for us teachers and the tickets were reasonably priced. We liked the quirky venue (we live locally, but had never heard of the Bowling House before). It is a shame we had quite loud traffic noise (Police / Ambulance sirens) at times during the show. We arrived in plenty of time for the second show, but had to wait quite a long time before we could order any food. My friend had tried to book a table in advance online, but had found the process overly complicated (because there were so many different combinations of timings and types of booking) and had given up. Our server also took a drink order for a glass of wine, but the drink was never brought to our table and then they tried to charge me for it, so I had to explain I had never received it. The venue’s food and drink prices were not as reasonable as the gig tickets.

Mrs Smith was great! Show was quite short though (50mims). Would have enjoyed more school stories and a bit less of the ‘f word’!
