Funnyman Chris O’Dowd sees profits jump 54%

Accumulated profits at Roscommon funnyman Chris O’Dowd’s UK production firm last year jumped by 54% to £546,244 (€639,374).

Mr O’Dowd’s Hot Cod Productions is one of the companies behind his very successful Moone Boy series broadcast in recent years to critical and popular acclaim.

The upturn in the company’s fortunes has coincided with the continuing success of the semi-autobiographical series and the 36-year-old’s continuing rise in Hollywood.
