BRILLIANT Performance

[@brianwhelan5382]

Niall Tobin is a master of the various Irish regional accents, he recounts humorous foibles of Irish life from some years gone by, people from other countries may not get the humour

[@Lee-nh5bb]

We Aussies get it ,of course, as the Irish came here 230 years ago. The Aussie accent must have come about by a blending of Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and English accents.

[@choctaw6838]

Probably best irish comedian of all time.

[@peterdelmonte9832]

I’ve missed out then. I’m 75 and had never seen him before. A fine teller of tales though for sure.

[@DeirdreMcNamara]

Dermot McNamara was, RIP! Launched so many Irish careers, etc., not a thank you ... oh, a one line from Malachy McCourt in his book...along w a bunch of inconsequentials... more than Frank, btw. Niall couldn't hold a candle to Dermot, completely different league.

Comedians the late Benny Hill and the late Jackie Wright used this, and expressed it as: Benny: "Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow?" Jackie: "It grows very well because I've got a brand new hoe. I put manure on me rhubarb, manure on me flowers". Benny: "You put manure on your rhubarb? We have cream on ours!"
