I was kind of shocked to discover that this didn't already exist, so I thought I'd better go ahead and create it.

You know Dermot Morgan as Father Ted of course, but he had plenty of other strings to his guitar (including playing the guitar). Earlier guises included a deranged hurling enthusiast, a painfully metaphorical young priest by the name of Trendy and a host of mercilessly caricatured politicians. He cooked up a particularly cutting form of satire with the Scrap Saturday radio show, released a bunch of comedy records, and earned his stand-up comedy stripes on the brutal working men's club circuit, before graduating to more salubrious venues.

He was an irrepressible comedic force, an ingeniously clever writer, a gifted mimic and, by all accounts, a profoundly decent bloke. And if that doesn't deserve a hearty Fuck Yeah, I don't know what does...
