Description
The Best of Frank Kelly features the Irish comedian's classic comedy sketches and a selection from his vast catalogue of musical comedy efforts including the massively popular Christmas Countdown. Many of his radio sketches originated from his weekday RTà radio show The Glen Abbey Show in the 1970s until the 1990s. Kelly played the part of a culchie, 'Gobnait O'Lúnasa', the sketches typically started with the sound of him putting coins in an old freckle coin box, and when the phone rang and was answered, his words were, 'Hello! Guess who' Is that you Nuala'' Kelly acted the part of an English BBC reporter interviewing rural inhabitants about local customs, such as watching bacon being sliced, or 'ha-hooing' (shouting a Rebel yell) competitions. The village was called Ballykilferret and described by the BBC man as being in 'the Republic of Eer-ah' (a mispronunciation of Ãire).
