‘Greatest comedian we ever produced’ laid to rest
The large crowd which gathered in the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour in Foxrock, Co Dublin, yesterday heard the 84-year-old performer who died on Tuesday described by his colleague and friend Brendan Grace as “the greatest comedian Ireland ever produced”.
In a tribute peppered with jokes and anecdotes, the comedian said he had been inspired to enter the profession by his late friend.
