Dermot Whelan
Dermot is best known for his regular appearances on RTE’s hit show The Panel and has performed at the Kilkenny Cat Laughs Comedy Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Other TV appearances include Liffey Laughs for RTE television and One Night Stand-Up for BBC TV.
Dermot also hosts a weekday breakfast show on the hugely successful Dublin radio station, 98FM, and has made radio appearances on BBC’s The Blame Game.
His comedy creation, the Toll Trolls, have had 3 top ten albums and went double platinum.
Dermot is especially proud of his acting success. He appeared in the 2003 Irish comedy classic Spin the Bottle as Garda # 2. He had two lines: “C’mon now, Son” and “Move out of the way there, Son”. Genius.
“The equally youthful Dermot Whelan has energy to spare. With his mildly camp wide-eyed confusion at life, the lad from Limerick comes across like early Ed Byrne possessed by the ghost of Frankie Howerd, eventually pounding each inch of the Stand stage as though Jason Byrne was auditioning for Feet of Flames…His blarney is worth taking a punt on.” The Scotsman
