Barry Murphy is, simply, a living legend of Irish comedy. Alongside Ardal O’Hanlon and Kevin Gildea, he co-founded The International Comedy Club in Dublin, a key breeding ground for the Irish alternative-comedy boom of the 1990s, the repercussions of which are still felt today. He was also one-third of Aprés Match where his turns as Frank Stapleton and Liam Brady were nothing short of inspired, while his German character, Günther, is a brilliant means through which we can laugh at the absurdity of some of our own social norms in Ireland.
