Kevin McAleer is an Irish stand-up comedian. He came to prominence on the RTÉ television show Nighthawks which began broadcasting in the late 1980s. McAleer became known for his three-minute sketches of surreal rustic tales told in his slow County Tyrone drawl.
Kevin McAleer’s hilariously boring Uncle Colm persona in “Derry Girls” has drawn a whole new wave of followers to his live shows! Here they are discovering what the legions of regular fans have been feasting on for years- the Tyrone space cadet’s legendary command of language, timing and delivery remains razor sharp and his timeless brand of pure balderdash is funnier than ever.
In ‘Why am I Here’, McAleer asks the big questions about the meaning of life, and spectacularly fails to answer them.
