anyone know what happened to him. he used to be pretty high profile, always around town and dozens of ads in the herald but nothing for years now?

He got more than his 15 minutes. Good riddance.

Krusader · 23-02-2011 4:32pm

He got knocked down by a moped

I googled his name and the second result is your thread. Not much action in the showbiz world for him these days then!

Brendan Kilkenny

He used to pop up at talent show auditions for a while a few years ago.

He had no talent whatsoever.

He married blind dates Bernard McHugh and they live in Fr. Neil Horans house, as he's always away representing Ireland at sports events or simply freestyling on da streetz.

he od'd on ego.

Brendan Kilkenny is a sem-fictitious character who only really comes to life when we think about him a bit like Pennywise the Clown. Thanks OP, I just know he's going to be popping up somewhere soon when

bonerm · 23-02-2011 4:45pm

He's currently being sued by Howard Jones for infringement of image rights.

He keeps himself busy.

I saw him up in o connell street last year, he's an eccentric character but he wouldn't harm a fly.
I know he's not a great singer but I have a lot of respect for the man, he spends most of his days getting heckled/ridiculed by people but he always comes across as positive and enthusiastic.

I saw him last year on O'Connell bridge with a tattered Tesco bag, which I assume carried all his worldly belongings. He was dressed like he fell out of 1986.

Translation: He's a bit thick.

Or you know, he's happy in himself and doesn't give a toss what anyone else thinks?

LETHAL LADY · 23-02-2011 5:15pm

He melted in a terrible peroxide accident.

RichieC · 23-02-2011 5:16pm

I read about him in the Aidan Walsh book of irish faux celebrities, other than that i never heard of the man.

mecanoman · 23-02-2011 5:20pm

I'm hoping Jedward following him.....and disappear.

Lahm · 23-02-2011 5:20pm

I saw him humping thr pillar of the GPO

23-02-2011 5:21pm

Remember this clown passed me in Liverpool st station a few years back. though in one way he must feel hard done by having seen jedward make it so big. they are not alot better to be honest and they raking it in.

And so what if he is? He's not the one that goes around judging people/making stupid shallow comments.

Its easy to take the piss out of someone, but he's got more balls than most of you internet warriors at least he's giving it a shot instead of regretting it later in life

Lahm · 23-02-2011 5:27pm

Ye. Fair play to Brendan.

Lahm · 23-02-2011 5:28pm

He's a character. In 70 years they'll erect a statue or a bust.

billymitchell · 23-02-2011 5:30pm

I heard he was the alter ego of Pat Kenny!!

Fender76 · 23-02-2011 5:35pm

I saw him yesterday on Bachelors Walk... he wasn't wearing his red american football jacket.

Scarydoll · 23-02-2011 5:43pm

I'll allways remember him getting his manky toenails cut on that show The Salon I think it was. Anyone remember that?

I've met him before, he was MCing a show, shortly after he appeared on what ever made him famous, and didn't really seem to know what the hell was going on. He's "act" consisted of sissor kicks and a flock of sea gulls hair style. He didn't entertain me but I didn't give him any abuse either.
I change my statement from thick to slightly dim. Yes he is harmless but there doesn't seem to be a lot going on with him, in my internet warrior opinion.

And to be fair I would say that about nearly all reality TV "stars"

He got whatever bit of fame he had by being completely talentless and a bit odd. You're not being an internet warrior by stating the obvious!
