The Rovers Comedy House is a Canadian variety television miniseries which aired on CBC Television in 1981.
The Irish Rovers, who identified as The Rovers in the early 1980s, hosted this Vancouver-produced music and comedy variety series. George Millar of the group likened the series to an "Irish Hee-Haw." The series was backed by CBC Television after The Rovers starred in a highly rated October 1980 broadcast. The series was produced in Vancouver by Ken Gibson and directed by Michael Watt. Irish singer Jimmy Kennedy regularly portrayed a bartender on the series.[1]
This half-hour series was originally broadcast on Thursdays at 10:30 p.m. from 8 January to 19 February 1981. When a NABET strike affected the network that spring, the series was rebroadcast from 9 May to 13 June on Saturdays at 6:30 p.m., It was rebroadcast again in 1982, on Mondays at 7:30 p.m. from 24 to 31 May.[2]
