Back in the late Eighties, one of the highlights on RTÉ television was the twice-weekly, late-night series, 'Nighthawks' - and some of the best moments on that show featured a comedian from Co Tyrone with a unique way of looking at things, Kevin McAleer.
McAleer has been hugely influential for a whole generation of comedians, not just in Ireland, but in the UK as well. David O’Doherty, for example, tells how he decided to become a comedian after seeing the original Nighthawks show in the Olympia back in the mists of the Nineties: ‘I couldn’t believe how good it was.’ Stewart Lee is a huge fan- ‘probably the best piece of stand-up that I have ever seen’ is his modest verdict.
‘Beautifully written material...changes the standards by which stand-up is judged’ Daily Telegraph
‘A whispering gem’ The Guardian
