Arthur Mathews

Arthur Mathews is an Irish comedy writer and actor best known as the co-creator and co-writer of Father Ted, one of the most beloved sitcoms in the history of British and Irish television. With Graham Linehan, he created the iconic world of Craggy Island and its hapless priests, producing one of the most quotable and enduring comedies of the 1990s. The Cummings Files: CONFIDENTIAL is a satirical work that brings Mathews's distinctive comedic voice to bear on contemporary political figures and events. His writing is sharp, absurdist, and unapologetically funny, reflecting the same comic sensibility that made Father Ted a classic. Mathews has also contributed to other television comedies and written for stage and screen. His comedy is characterised by its surreal humour, its inventiveness, and its ability to find the absurd in the everyday. The Cummings Files: CONFIDENTIAL is available as an audiobook alongside the print edition, offering listeners a hilarious and sharply observed way to enjoy Mathews's political satire.
