RIP Jon Kenny

I was very saddened to hear of the death of Jon Kenny. One of Ireland’s best-loved comedians, we were grateful to have him as part of the cast in The Break.

His scene in the shop with Ronan Leahy is one of my favourites, and was often mentioned by viewers as one of the most memorable. RIP.

Read his obituary in the Irish Times: Jon Kenny: portraits of Irish eccentricity that mingled hilarity with sadness.
