This morning on 98FM's Big Breakfast, we were joined by Andy Quirke the creator and star of Damo & Ivor: The Movie.
Andy first introduced northsider Damo to the world in a sketch called 'Skanger Me Banger' when he was just sixteen years old.
Andy told Cooper and Luke how Pat Short was his inspiration to create fun characters.
"Always as a kid, I was absolutely obsessed with Pat Short, that's what got me started in the whole thing...I used to mimic him all the time and it got to the stage where I thought, I need to bring up my own character, and Damo came out of it then.
"If it wasn't for Pat Short, there would be none of this"
Listen back to the full interview below:
