Oliver Callan Biography

Oliver Callan is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on December 27, 1980 in Inniskeen, County Monaghan, Ireland. Oliver Callan (born 27 December 1980) is an Irish singer, satirist and performer and impressionist, best known for being his creator for Calan’s Kicks, Nob Nation and for his frequent guest appearances in The Saturday Night Show. He gained acclaim in the decade of 2000 when his weekly Nob Nation slots aired on RTE Radio. The show he created called Callan’s Kicks for RTE Radio 1 has been described by The Sunday Independent as “the best comedy show the national broadcaster has ever produced”.

Impersonations in the roles of Eamon Dunphy, and David Norris led to a warning from the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BAI) in July 2008. The BAI considered his appearances “offensive to homosexuals” and declared that the impersonations “promoted binge drinking”.

In August 2010, a new website www.nobnation.com showcasing comedy videos and purportedly uncensored versions of Nob Nation podcasts appeared. A number of Sunday newspapers reported that the website featured controversial depictions of Brian Cowen in a bar along with Judge Gargle, a fictional character loosely based on a high-profile Irish judge.

In October 2011, Callan was allegedly assaulted by Kerry GAA star Paul Galvin late at night in Kehoe’s Pub, Central Dublin. Among witnesses to the alleged incident were a Government Minister, a TD, a senator and several journalists. One witness alleged Galvin called Callan a “fucking cunt”. The incident was investigated by the Garda Síochána. The media speculated on the reason behind the alleged incident, reporting that Callan had recently mimicked Galvin asking Taoiseach Enda Kenny to man-up by giving him a body-wax on radio.’ and that Galvin had texted Callan before an appearance on The Saturday Night Show in relation to “gay jibes” the satirist had directed at him. It was eventually revealed that Galvin had complained (or not complained at all) to RTÉ after what he described as “the most excruciating night of my life” at home on his sofa between his parents in Kerry watching The Saturday Night Show when Callan referred to Galvin’s “years spent in the closet”.

Callan was a sell-out show for five nights live in the Dublin’s Olympia Theatre between September 2008 between September 2008 and May 2013. Paul Galvin featured in that live show , along with over fifty characters. He also has performed in shows across the country and was featured in viral advertisements to Lidl, The Irish Sun and Paddy Power.
