Pat Shortt has revealed fears that he’s not going to be funny anymore.
The actor started his acting career in the 1980s and starred on hilarious shows like Father Ted and starred as a comedy duo with Jon Kenny as D’Unbelievables.
“With me, [the worry is] I’m not going to be funny anymore,” he said.

The Tipperary native admitted that he worries about writing new shows but follows on the advice from a great director.
“When you’re writing a new show, and you’re putting it out there, yeah, of course you doubt yourself, of course you wake up in the middle of the night, going, ‘What am I thinking?'” he told the Irish Independent.
“A great director said to me once, ‘If you’ve done it before, you’ll do it again’. You have to keep telling yourself that.”

Pat also revealed that he doesn’t take breaks as an actor except for the few weeks with his family.
“People say to me, ‘God, you’re mad busy, you’ve so much going on,’ and I think, ‘Well, you probably have as much going on as I have.’
“I do work all year round. A lot of actors will have breaks between jobs,” he explained.
“I don’t, I just roll from one project to the next, and I take my two, three weeks holidays with the kids and the family, same as everybody else, so I don’t actually see myself as working too much.”
