Great to see Sean Hughes back.
I loved the stuff he did with Cathal Coughlan in Bubonique.

I’ve missed that guy.
Likewise.
I remember a routine he did years ago about singing Dexys Midnight Runners at a family party.
I’ve searched for it for ages but have never been able to locate it.
That wasn’t Sean Hughes, Bertie.
That happened in your house on St Stephen’s Day in 1997.
No, no I clearly remember Sean Hughes had an argument with my cousin Anto…. oh feck you’re right!
Saint Paul feels that comedy and that troupe of woebegotten wastrels are a contradiction in terms.
