I remember him busking on the streets in the early naughties!
I’m not familiar with this – is it a documentary about the Catholic Church? It’s very well made
Thought he’s a rubbish comedian
I regularly reference the potato whispering.
it was funny sometimes, like it had good sketches, but some of it wasn’t funny. the guy behind it, david mcsavage is a cunt to work with and made sure it never kept going and he honestly wasn’t that funny, he’s a better as an actor with his jokes and lines written for him.
Remember watching it now and again when it first aired. Thought it was good. Looking at it now, I think it’s a masterpiece! McSavage went all out on it, no holding back.
He’s doing a show in a few weeks in a local theatre but we won’t be able to make it. I’d love to see him live. It could be awful or it could be brilliant, I’ve no idea how it would go and that makes it more interesting.
Worst comedian Ireland has evet produced. And thats saying something *cough Ed Byrne cough*
Ah the Al Porter apologist, I do remember him
I found the savage eye was either absolutely spot on and brilliant (usually the priest stuff and garda training) or to be terribly unfunny. Within an episode it could swing from one extreme to the other from one skit to the next.
Still, the priest scenes are brilliant.

Saw his standup show a few months back. Was absolutely fantastic. Pure chaos.
He’s a genius, RTE don’t have the balls to put him back on TV and they wonder why they are losing viewers
country boy
I never made the connection with that video and the lads from foil, arms and hog. Had seen him perform in Patrick Street in Cork around 2009-2010 and always drew a good crowd. But does come across as a prick.
Time Travellers was great
I’ve been trying to find a a clip where he takes the piss out of Daniel Day Lewis method acting as Scooby Doo. Can’t find it anywhere and nobody I talk to remembers it. 🤷♂️
“Mrs Lewis, he’s after killin another sheep”.
“Never look a quare in the eye…..he wants to ride ya”!
Dublin is a small city, I’ve encountered him several times. A few of these he was being a right ‘Karen’ to service staff. Once, giving out about not being served quickly enough in a cafe that was absolutely jammed. Once I saw him leave in a huff during a set in Temple Bar Square when a few local young fellas gave him stick after giving them stick in the first place… and, personally, I find his comedy second rate at best, but that’s just my taste…

Time Travelers is the greatest thirty seconds ever produced by RTE https://youtu.be/RDBzXYjkl8k
Some great bits from that show. “Smell of piss and biscuits of ya” still kills me over ten years later.
The Savage Eye was on the same level as the Cassidy’s.
He fixed the road!
I’m brilliant with childerderin
My bad, but I never got him in his busking days in real life, but I think this t.v. show is next to Father Ted basically
Who said there’s no talent in Longford?
J’member.
Best RTE show ever
