A Celebration of Father Ted with Joe Rooney

The Connacht Hotel

Menu

Join 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 delivery’- Ardal O’Hanlon
