about
Mario Rosenstock is an Irish comedian, impressionist and musician who is best known for his parody music singles and his role in the Gift Grub comedy series on Irish radio station Today FM. He rose to fame on Gift Grub, which features on the Ian Dempsey breakfast show on Today FM, since 1999. This is a series of comic sketches, impersonations and parodies that have featured Rosenstock being Bertie Ahern, Colin Farrell and Roy Keane amongst many others. He performed an impersonation of José Mourinho in a parody of a song from the musical Joseph. This spread like wildfire on Internet message boards and eventually it was played on a Sky Sports broadcast. Mourinho heard the song and liked the impersonation so much he had Mario perform a private show for him and the Chelsea squad. Mario later released, with Mourinho's blessing, a single version of José and his Amazing Technicolor Overcoat. He has also released another song on the internet with a parody of Mourinho in an interview then breaking into song. In 2005, he achieved the Christmas number one single in the Irish music Charts, with a pardoy of Will Young's song 'Leave Right Now'. The parody concerned Roy Keane's controversial departure from Manchester United Football Club and his fallout with Alex Ferguson.
