Oliver Callan of the Cafe...

...as funny as a toothache. And when a person has to preface every sketch by telling you the person they are imitating (he'll say things like 'David Beckham, Arnold Scwarznegger on the phone for you'), that's a bad sign...

Wouldn't be that harsh, the presenters seem confident enough. Really geared at the acne generation though, who laugh hysterically at a hole in a biscuit. The fellow who brings the coffee and Callan are an annoyance though.

Wouldn't go that far, but then again when you see the success of Little Britain it's hard to argue against it. Although a lot of adults like LB as well I guess...

Anyway, I'm 17, can't stand the show. Maybe if I was 12 I might find it funny or whatever it's meant to be, but despite RTÉ's claim that it's a teen show, I really think it insults the intelligence of anyone post-Junior Cert. But I suppose when it's the same division of RTÉ that churns out programmes for 5 year-olds and 16/17-year-olds it's to be expected.

Aidan Power is quite pretty though....

The Cafe is really bad. I cannot bear it. Isn't Oliver Callan behind the gift grub rip off Knob Nation on 2FM?

hahahahahahahahahhahahaha
(that was me laughing hysterically at a biscuit) the cafe is very lame, think the fact its just a half hour long they cant really strike up any decent chat with they're guests, however light hearted it should be. and laura woods who presents it is stiff as a board however casual she tries to make it look

hot fuss

Oliver Callan was originally in Gift Grub on Today FM, and then moved to 2fm.

Did no-one read about him suing Rosenstock because he didn't get paid or credited for his sketches that were on the album this year? He wrote and acted some of them.

Heard that alright.

Imho Rosenstock is far funnier and a far better mimic.
