I've a friend in County Kildare does them, but you talk to me.

One of Steve Coogan's funniest characters - the Sligo Farmer turned Alan Partridge impersonator Martin Brennan.

    Steve Coogan is the one man who managed to sing an irish rebel song on the BBC. That man is a legend

    1:24 "Awful hot in here..." This is so on-point for older generation rural Irish. If you're not commenting or complaining about something you're odd The attention to detail in this bit is amazing
  • As an Irish person myself, that's the best Irish accent iv ever heard an none Irish person pull off, and to get away with singing 2 Irish rebel songs on the BBC, that's just brilliant unreal, and 2 songs that are so anti british, big balls he has.
  • @cormacio
    Probably the best Irish Accent I've seen by an actor. Hilarious
  • @PlayingGilly
    Not only a good Irish accent but a spot on rural Sligo accent.

    ‘I’ve a friend in Kildare who has them, but you talk to me’ 😂😂😂 cute hoorism at its best 😂😂

    The wonky eye is the icing on the cake lol
  • Susannah Fielding doesn't get enough credit for her work on this show. She perfectly captures the chirpy nothingness of an Alex Jones or Christine Bleakley.

    One of the most convincing character portrayals in the history of television. Martin Brennan is far too precious to be confined to these few fleeting moments of comic genius. More please Steve.
  • @pukeyourguts
    it's like a magic act.. first off, he's so convincing you forget it's coogan, then he pulls the rabbit out the hat with the rebel song finale. one of the best things he's ever done!
  • @BanditSlots
    1:24 “Awful hot in here”. Coogan really gets all the nuances of his character spot on
  • @seamust1181
    Find out who booked him and sack “her” is so underrated in an absolute explosion of brilliance 😅
  • @paultierney6038
    The best Irish stereotype ever done? Most of us know/knew some grand uncle like that down the country. Its an even handed piss take that demonstrates his genuine understanding of the Irish mindset. Then to top it off, a medley of rebel songs on the bbc 😆 Top class
  • @canturgan
    Every Irish uncle rolled into one. 100% accurate.😂
  • @hotelmario510
    I'm not joking when I am saying that Steve Coogan as Martin Brennan's performance of When You Were Sweet Sixteen is genuinely one of the most affecting renditions of the song I have ever heard.
  • @college54114
    Why is his singing voice unironically so good 😭😭 Edit: I have a newfound and very healthy respect and appreciation for Irish music and the musical talent of the Irish people. Mighty!
  • @o-kay368
    "Couldn't let ye go without a little song" Haha 😂
  • @ferrorail
    Moments I lost my sh1t "Awful hot in here" "There's a cat" 😅
  • @imnothere220
    I think the world is owed a Martin Brennan album for Christmas
