Joe Rooney &more.

Tickets are only €5 from the Socs Box! You must sign up to Comedy Soc to avail of the offer.
Very exciting line up of Joe Rooney, Rory O'Hanlon, Steve Cummins and Kevin Goldsmith!

Joe Rooney is best known from his roles in Killinaskully & Fr Ted. After a nationwide tour with Pat Shortt in 2004, Joe Rooney embarked on his own tour culminating in a sell out show in Vicar St. He has recently appeared in the hit RTE comedy series, "Killinaskully" as the character "Timmy Higgins" and also featured in the recent stand up show "The Liffey Laugh" on RTE 2. He is currently taking time out to write a new show and spend some quality time with his pet freak, "Maggot Boy" who he keeps locked in the hen house.
Joe is probably best known for his role as Father Damo in the "Father Ted" series. He started his comedy career as half of The Quacksquad, a comedy duo that went on to write and perform on "Nighthawks", "The Late Late Show" (with his personal interpretation of Riverdance) and RTE's first sitcom, "Flatheads".
I'm still laughing at the thought of Fr. Damien (Damo) Lennon, the gurrier curate who lead Fr. Dougal astray…He was an inspired invention and was brilliantly played by Joe Rooney
