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

Reviews for previous Hooma Comedy events
I think the standard to the venue warrants the price. Staff were very friendly. The venue was very cold and I feel that a comedy night needs more people. The acts were very substandard. The first act was substandard but I think it was great how hard he was trying therefore we still enjoyed it. The second act was ok but I didn’t enjoy the man-hating which divided the room but, I guess it is what Norwich is becoming known for. The last act was great. Really energetic and he commanded the attention of the room. I think hopefully with a warmer room and more people it would have felt a lot better. Wouldn’t it be lovely if Norwich wasn’t just all about families and welcomed more single people. I think most have left for Bristol and London tbh. I appreciate it’s very challenging at the moment in Norfolk so please keep going! 👌🏻💪🏻
