Sean Hughes (born John Hughes, 10 November 1965) is a stand-up comedian, writer and actor. ==Career== Hughes was born in London, but spent most of his youth in Firhouse, Dublin. He attended Coláiste Éanna in Ballyroan. In 1987 he began appearing at the Comedy Store, and with his show, ''A One Night Stand With Sean Hughes'' he won the prestigious Perrier Comedy Award.〔"(Past Comedy Award Winners )". Perrier Comedy Award. Retrieved 29 April 2008.〕 He marked his 30th birthday with the ''Sean Hughes is Thirty Somehow'' tour, which was broadcast on Channel 4, in 1995. Hughes returned to stand-up, touring the UK and Australia in 2007 with his show, ''The Right Side of Wrong''. As well as comedy, he has also written collections of prose and poetry and worked on a number of films. He also presented weekend radio shows on the BBC's London radio station BBC GLR, and in 2002 joined BBC 6 Music, presenting the Sunday morning programme. He left the station a year after its launch, proclaiming it had turned into everything he had wanted it to be. He has also written two novels, ''The Detainees'' (1998) and ''It's What He Would Have Wanted'' (2000). It has been reported that Hughes was a close friend of the late American comedian Bill Hicks, but Hughes has stated this is untrue and that he knew Hicks only slightly. Hughes wrote the foreword to Cynthia True's biography, ''American Scream. The Bill Hicks Story''. Hughes wrote about Hicks, "being a genius is a heavy burden and he's the only one I'm ever likely to meet. I still miss you Bill."〔("American Scream: The Bill Hicks Story" ).
