Kevin McAleer, originally from county Tyrone, is one of Ireland’s top comedians. His initial rise to fame was on the RTÉ television show Nighthawksin the late 1980s. McAleer is infamous for his short sketchesinvolving strange rustic tales told in his slow County Tyrone drawl. His recent one man show entitled Chalk and Cheese confirmed his reputation as a master of dry wit, wordplay and good old-fashioned surrealism.
