Jimmy Cricket

The Town I Love So Well

Available for 19 days

Comedian Owen O'Neill spends the day with a well-known local face as they show him around a place that they hold in affection, uncovering stories about their home territory. Today Owen is in west Belfast to meet Northern Ireland's much-loved comedian Jimmy Cricket. Jimmy, best known for wearing three-quarter length trousers and wellie boots on the wrong feet, takes Owen to his childhood home off the Andersonstown Road, plays the saxophone on the street corner where he used to perform with his mates and to the former family run bar where he cut his teeth telling jokes to the customers.
