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

There were some great acts, incredible to think most of them were first-timers. I just felt a little too close to the performers on the front row!

The MC was great, and the first and last comics were amazing! The first, John Mann, has a very tight set, full of laughs. The middle two comedians had funny jokes and I really commend their confidence, but they lacked the tightness of their sets that the other two comedians had. The atmosphere and crowd were great, a lot of back and fourth with the comedians, which created a great atmosphere. The venue was good, although I would have liked the room to be slightly less bright, but no real complaints. I will definitely be back soon!
