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

Great atmosphere through the whole night. Some fantastic talent we've discovered that we would otherwise not have if we hadn't attended the comedy club. The event host was fantastic and really got the atmosphere going and kept it going throughout the night

Fabulous evening. What great value for money. The compare hosting was as good if not better than some of the acts. This venue is structurally very appealing, the atmosphere is extremely friendly. A few quirky beers which is always a bonus, and great street food - what’s not to like. A defo evening to recommend

Great venue - unique and has been made interesting attractive and memorable. Liked the variety of seating areas available. Appreciated the ease of ordering drinks and food from the table using the QR code too. Had a margharita cocktail which was a bit too sweet for my taste and a bit synthetic so will try something else next time! It was a bit chilly in there though! Any plans for heating as the autumn and winter wear on?
