Joe Rooney is an actor and comedian with over twenty years experience in both fields. As an actor he has had major roles in Father Ted (Channel 4), 5 series of Killinascully (RTE), Roy (BBC), RiRa (TG4) and Spookey Stakeout (RTE).
I caught up with Joe to find out how he moved into the world of stand-up comedy via a second hand record store in the George's Street Arcade and a band that created an entirely new musical genre. We talk about performing, the good nights and some of the bad ones, his role as Father Damo in Father Ted and loads more.
There's also some exciting info about Joe and a new podcast here on the Castaway network. You can follow Joe on Twitter @joerooney1.
