Cafe Babel is a good source of interesting people as seen in this interview
Cafebabel.com writes: Some people realise from an early age onwards that they have a calling. For some, this calling is religious, for others, it takes the form of politics or business. For a select few, it is centred in the glamorous world of entertainment. Patrick Monahan safely belongs in the latter category. Coming from an Irish father and an Iranian mother, the laws of nature just about guaranteed that Patrick was set to be a bit of a joker. “Irish people are renowned for being great talkers” he tells me. “And Iranians make these huge arm movements. I have both these elements in me.”
Initially, he did not have to look far for a vast source of comic inspiration. Patrick’s mixed background, something which he takes pride in, is dominant in his treatment of contemporary geopolitical conundrums. He jokes: “When the neighbours argued we'd call in the police. When me parents argued we'd call in the UN.”
