Brendan Grace Biography – Brendan Grace Wiki
Brendan Grace an Irish comedian and singer. He is known for his comedy schoolboy character “Bottler”, the role of Murphy in the 1995 film Moondance, and his 1996 appearance in the Irish TV sitcom Father Ted as Father Fintan Stack.
Branden Grace left school at the age of 13 to begin working. His first job was as a messenger boy, an occupation he often refers to in his live act.

During a gig one night, the band found themselves two members short and, in an attempt to calm an anxious crowd, Brendan was thrust upon the stage to humour them. His wit and razor sharp observations of daily life in Ireland immediately won over the crowd and since then he has been selling out venues around the globe.
