I see what you did there Mr Lee, very good. I remember going to watch Michael downstairs at some pub in North London during the 80s (I think it was the 80s lol) and Michael had me in absolute fits of laughter. I do remember chatting to him after, bought him a pint as one should, lovely bloke. Very quiet and unassuming. I also recall to my great delight, seeing Michael on the tv a couple of weeks later on the C4 Friday Night Live. I kept yelling at the family, “That's him! That's yer man!” My ma being an Irish woman herself (as was pa) declared he was now her favourite Irish comedian after Dave Allen, of course, a very high accolade. Thanks for the happy memories. Now I must go and see if he's still performing.
I bumped into him in Partick; asked this random dude directions to a pub I was meeting pals in, and I asked 'were you in Father Ted mate'?! Turns out it was him, he lives in Glasgow now - LEGEND!
@fistpounder He also appeared in Stewart Lee's comedy vehicle. He seems to be one of the few comedians out there that Stewart Lee actually likes and admires. And that seems to be worthy of a medal.
This man is my favourite comedian now. That set is fucking genius. True comedy, not pandering to offence, just clever and honest, driven by an actual knowledge of how jokes work. I wish I could do comedy the way he does. Lucky bastard.
saw him live at the stand comedy club, Glasgow, he was the compere and awesome. he opened with that line too... he also insisted we sit in the spare seats at the front and wouldn't start the show until we did.... good times :)
This set reminded me of Steven Wright & now I've heard an interview where he reveals that he saw the great Boston stand-up & thought to himself: 'I can do that'. He also looks as nervous as Steven did on his first TV appearance.
yes, I remember that too - that's stuck in my memory over the years. It was on The Tube I think? All I can recall about it was it was a slide show of owls and one of the funniest things I've ever seen. If anyone has it, please post!
I know this was posted 10 years ago, but just in case you see this, that was Kevin McAleer. The full show, Turn it On, is here on TH-cam. The greatest stand up special of all time
You can tell from the fact she drove on the left that she was definitely the holy mother Chris morris, Stewart Lee and Father Ted, he's had the life joe pasquale can only dream of And he's still fine
Could you put up a warning before Ben Elton comes on? An unexpected Ben Elton appearance is comparable to spending a night in a ditch full of dead children in terms of psychological damage
father stone "I think I'll stay!" Ted "what?" father stone " I said, I think I'll stay!" Ted "How long?" father stone "I don't know, about three weeks maybe" dougal faints!
I love the way the smart-arsed heckler at the start of the act realises he's just not up to 'topping' the jokes, because he's just a sad studenty twat with a braying voice and that's it - and after two minutes MR can dare to leave long pauses, because the audience don't know where the joke's going, and are concentrating on his words, and thus forget to try to be funnier than him in front of all their mates.
I was practically raised on stand up comedy and was never aware of this guy until Father Ted and even then, it never occurred to me to check him out. His stuff is dated for sure but he is undeniably funny.
It probably means nothing to most people now, but that was actually quite brave to even mention Ireland and being Irish in Britain in the 1970s and 1980s.
Joe Pasquale's let himself go.
fr stone's let himself go

get out my garden
@@dmgsoultogetherness6667what’s Joe Pasquale doing in your garden?
I can't believe he ripped off this Joe Pasquale routine a decade before Jo Pasquale was born.
@M he collected stamps too
You may need to buy a new calculator.
"Father, would you like to be a comedian?"
"...No. Fine. Thanks."
I met him at the Edinburgh Festival. I offered to buy him a drink. His response "yes please" I was gutted.
No… im fine…
I bumped into him in Partick; asked this random dude directions to a pub I was meeting pals in, and I asked 'were you in Father Ted mate'?! Turns out it was him, he lives in Glasgow now - LEGEND!
I also met him in Edinburgh. He bought me a drink.
@@alicequayle4625 question is did you buy him one and he accept?
@@jonnycola86 his comedy mates dragged him off after five or ten mins so I didn't get to return the favour.
Stewart Lee got me here
Me too, brilliant!
Here here
Looks nothing like joe pasquale.
lol, 8 years on and TH-cam's algorithm works the same 😄
Same
I had no idea that the much talked about Michael Redmond was father Stone. That's just great!
Probably the best closing line of a stand up set I've ever heard.
Great casting in father Ted. Perfect for the role.
I just searched Joe Pasquale on TH-cam and this was the first video that came up.
Hilarious. I only know him as Father Stone. What a genius performer.
@fistpounder He also appeared in Stewart Lee's comedy vehicle.
He seems to be one of the few comedians out there that Stewart Lee actually likes and admires. And that seems to be worthy of a medal.
"Ted, he looks like a golf trophy."
Father Stone
Oh right.
No... I'm fine.
Oh yeah, I wondered where I'd seen him before.
No. Im Fine.
The wall with the mustache
The first thing I expected him to hear him say was ... "no,I'm fine"
Suppose so
General Ratko Mladić brought me here.
I thought Kim Jong-il was dead...
Father Stone isn’t boring he’s a legend!
This man is my favourite comedian now. That set is fucking genius. True comedy, not pandering to offence, just clever and honest, driven by an actual knowledge of how jokes work. I wish I could do comedy the way he does. Lucky bastard.
I was really enjoying this, but I had to pause it when I noticed Joe Pasquale staning at the end of my garden.
0:13 "Show us your willy!"
What a great heckle.
No I'm fine...I'll see it again sometime.
Not only was it very funny, but a demonstration of great intellect and razor sharp wit.
Father Ted said this, Father Ted said that...he's counting the days until he comes back !
Now I see where Milton Jones gets it from :D
I was just thinking this (9 yrs later) - very similar delivery
Spot on
Ever heard of Steven Wright?
I love how it starts off with everyone so unsure but by 3:40 he owns them.
That last gag was a killer. His deadpan delivery is perfect
makes perfect sense that Father Stone totally rocks !
think i was at school with him. priceless toilet scene in fr. ted.
Superb. love it. Really lovely style and jokes
Michael Redmond kept a lephrechaun and an elf in captivity but now has let his elf go
😆
Get out of my garden.
He stole that gag from Joe Pasquale
TBF it made more sense when Michael did it
get out of my garden! >.
saw him live at the stand comedy club, Glasgow, he was the compere and awesome. he opened with that line too... he also insisted we sit in the spare seats at the front and wouldn't start the show until we did.... good times :)
That's because of Performance Dynamics David - for comedy to work well the audience should be situated as near to the stage as possible.
I'm fine thanks Ted.
I'm totally sure Pasquale stole the first two jokes about libraries and mars bars too.
Father Stone!!!
Cheers for uploading this, he's a very funny man!
his ' i phone book shops and if they ask can they help me i say i'm just browsing' joke was just tweeted by keith chegwin
Joe Pasquale is in this man's garden
Good old Friday Night Live, Stavros and Loads'a Money were great.
i was enjoying that, then ben elton arrived and i puked into my cornflakes
a class act
As a stand-up myself, my heart went out to him at 0:48 when he lost his place in the set.
This set reminded me of Steven Wright & now I've heard an interview where he reveals that he saw the great Boston stand-up & thought to himself: 'I can do that'. He also looks as nervous as Steven did on his first TV appearance.
one of mv favorite comedians
*_Friday Night Live_* (S1, Ep4; 11 March 1988) Saturday Night Live (UK) was moved to Friday night and renamed for its final season.
Oh !!! is Father Stone, from "Father Ted"!
Came here after a Stewart lee routine
Yep... Stewart Lee’s Roadmap of Comedy. Destination Arrived.
He's very good. Dry as a whip
yes, I remember that too - that's stuck in my memory over the years. It was on The Tube I think? All I can recall about it was it was a slide show of owls and one of the funniest things I've ever seen. If anyone has it, please post!

Joe Pasquale is looking well
Lech Wałęsa doesn't look a day older. I thank you.
He's like a wall with a moustache!
no I'm fine!
I can imagine his house contains rudimentary brewing facilities
Father Stone!
Frank Zappa doing standup
TH-cam Algorithm you win again
Jon Lord has let himself go
Nice, I caught that!
Brilliant. Everything that Michael McIntyre, John Bishop and Pete Kay isn't.
I agree
aren't
The first 2 are as funny as a,bag of cat vomit
Can someone explain the joke about the missing dog? loved the rest of it.
You can tell from the fact she drove on the left that she was definitely the holy mother
Chris morris, Stewart Lee and Father Ted, he's had the life joe pasquale can only dream of
And he's still fine
Oh no! Not Father Stone... Oh Jaysus! How long is he staying!? I'm locking meself up in the feckin' attic...
This guy literally lives across the street from me in the west end of Glasgow, his mustache is much more white these days.
I met him last night in the pub ;)
Gigging with this great comedian tomorrow night!
Billy Mac How did it go?
Yeah , how did it go ? 😂
FATHER STONE!!!!
What a funny bloke!!
Bob Carolgees has let himself go
Could you put up a warning before Ben Elton comes on? An unexpected Ben Elton appearance is comparable to spending a night in a ditch full of dead children in terms of psychological damage
🤣
8 years on and it's still a valid response.
It’s two years later and I’ve happened across your wonderful comment again and seemingly laughed even harder than the first time. So.....
🤣🤣🤣
Now that's a 'tash!
I saw him in my garden earlier
Nothing wakes me!
I used to have a litte dog...... but he lived in Wales. Lol
I was expecting to see the go player haha
Have you seen Father Shortall lately.... I guess he's about 80 now...?!
apparently this was my dads best man :o
Oh no its father stone😊😊😊😅😅
"What ever happened to Kajagoogoo."
Oh no, it's Father Stone.
father stone "I think I'll stay!"
Ted "what?"
father stone " I said, I think I'll stay!"
Ted "How long?"
father stone "I don't know, about three weeks maybe"
dougal faints!
No, I'm fine.
Terry Christian brought me here.
Good now let's play diiiirty monah!
@ 6:02 Ireland does have a small village called New Birmingham
I love the way the smart-arsed heckler at the start of the act realises he's just not up to 'topping' the jokes, because he's just a sad studenty twat with a braying voice and that's it - and after two minutes MR can dare to leave long pauses, because the audience don't know where the joke's going, and are concentrating on his words, and thus forget to try to be funnier than him in front of all their mates.
The "Show Us Your Willy" gonk? He obviously likes looking at them, perhaps in envy because his own is completely irrelevant(?)
I know what happened to Kagagoogoo. They packed the music game in. They were too shy!.
my fave comedy routine
Joe Pasquale stole the first joke or two as well.
Stew brought me here, but I'm seeing a lot of Milton Jones here. Agree?
nice reminds me of chic murray

reminds me of Steven Wright.
Yes. Also at 4:06 when he says sometimes it's hard to figure out what life is all about.. what does he say after that?
He says "whatever happened to Kajagoogoo?" They were an 80s band in the UK who pretty much vanished after one big hit
I wonder if Mitch Hedberg was inspired by this guy. Both have/had lots of one-liners.
he is so funny :D
Never did understand that patch the dog joke - can anyone explain it to me?
It's a number to call to report the dog missing, but he's interpreted it as a phone number to chat to the dog
I thought that was Kevin McAleer? I could be mistaken though.
Well yeah, if ther's a fire
no im fine...
My uncle too:D
Hi alex..
X
Stuart Lee brought me here.
Magnums really let himself go
Father Paul Stone
"No.. I'm fine.."
