Biography

Irish by birth, Graham Norton went to the local college in Cork to study a degree in English and French. He dropped out after two years to join a hippy comune in San Fransisco.

After an unhappy time at drama school, he turned to comedy. After some years of struggle, a show he wrote and performed at the Edinburgh Festival (Mother Theresa of Calcutta's Grand Farewell Tour) was successful, and five years later he made his TV debut with Carnal Knowledge.

Camper than a camp site, his style is cheery yet brazen, something he has developed further with BMtHoLE and his cheeky chat show So Graham Norton. He also played the role of Father Noel Furlong in the hit Channel 4 comedy Father Ted.

Trivia

Graham was the victim of a serious knife attack when he was 26. He lost half the blood in his body and one lung collapsed.
