Michael Redmond on Friday Night Live

Legendary inventor of "a lot of people say to me - get out of my garden" (see Stewart Lee's 'Joe Pasquale Joke') and "do you ever notice how nervous people get when you follow them up a ladder?".

He nearly had a series on Radio 4, but it was pulled at the last minute because people were upset that it was called 'Eamon, Older Brother of Jesus'.

Michael Redmond most famously played Father Stone in the 'Father Ted' episode 'Entertaining Father Stone', and was last seen playing an abused goat on 'Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle'.

Other than that, there was nothing of his on YouTube whatsoever.

Which is why I ripped this.

It's off a Network DVD called 'The Very Best Of Friday Night Live'.

Buy the DVD, I suppose I should say.

Most of it, though, is Harry Enfield shouting "bosh" and Ben Elton sort of sweatily gyrating.

Oh no, it's Father Stone.

[GordonMorrice]

Even that mere three seconds of Ben Elton was painfully aggravating. A monumental cunt. Redond's delivery is great, though!

[johnbudding]

I'm totally sure Pasquale stole the first two jokes about libraries and mars bars too.

[GodzirraRS]

Wow I just about had a heart attack when I saw his name in the related videos. This guy was my childhood bestfriends' father, I must have spent hundreds of days with him. Incredible nice, humble and funny man. Terrible cook.

[PrawnToucher]

Father Stone!

[rybekdesign]

Fucking legend

[guv859]

Very funny, and a nice mention of Stewart Lee's observation.

[HoratioMoonraker]

Do I like this video? No... I'm fine, tanks.

[mrcuddles100]

BEN ELTON OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE. I hate you Ben Elton. I hate you so much.

[RealityCheck6T9]

Cheers for uploading this, he's a very funny man!

[RealOutOfSight]

@jimdaw65 Haha, I noticed that too. Bet he felt like a right cunt

[yellowcougar18]

@yellowcougar18 Oh, the last line is not sarcasm, just a mark of genuine respect for the guy.
