David Tynan O'Mahoney (July 6, 1936 - March 10, 2005), better known as Dave Allen, was an Irish comedian, popular in the United Kingdom and Australia in the 1960s and 1970s. His act was typified by a very relaxed, intimate style - he would sit on a chair, smoking and holding a glass of whiskey. Alleged to be an atheist, he would often make jokes about religion, particularly the Catholic Church and the Church of England. Wikipedia
Dave Allen had a comedy and sketch show back in the 1970's; one of the funniest ever, in large part due to Allen's extraordinary storytelling abilities. paul.rutgers.edu/~cwm/DaveAllen/
