Kevin McAleer

Kevin McAleer (born 1956) 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. One critic said that McAleer "''put the dead back into deadpan''". In 2022 he toured his one-man show entitled ''Why am I Here'' and played the part of boring Uncle Colm in ''Derry Girls'' on Channel 4. In 2024 he announced his retirement from stand-up comedy, with final shows in Dublin and Belfast. Provided by Wikipedia
