Oliver Callan: Even better at meaningless fluff than Ryan Tubridy
Radio: The talented mimic is adept at filling airtime but oddly reserved when talking to others
about 2 hours ago
For all his gifts as an impersonator, there’s one role Oliver Callan can’t quite nail. Try as he might, his efforts at playing a talkshow host are never convincing. He is back for his latest stint as stand-in presenter on
The Ryan Tubridy Show (RTÉ Radio 1, weekdays), and, although he is adept at filling airtime with all manner of daffy caricatures, when it comes to speaking to the audience in his own voice he makes less of an impression.
