Oliver Callan’s entertainment company enjoyed another profitable year last year, despite the disruption of the pandemic, leaving the presenter and impressionist with cash and other current assets worth almost €1m.
Catchy Title Limited had accumulated profits of more than €1.4m at the end of last year, having recorded an annual profit of €131,797 for the preceding 12-month period.
The company’s current assets, which include cash, also increased, by €134,822 to €993,556.
The 40-year-old is the sole owner of the entertainment firm and is listed as a director along with his sister, Áine (29).
The directors received total remuneration of €47,314 last year, according to figures released in the latest accounts.
The Monaghan performer has enjoyed considerable success in recent years with his satirical sketch show Callan’s Kicks on RTÉ Radio.
Around 1.9 million listeners downloaded a podcast of the show in 2019.
Callan is set to go on tour with live-show adaptations of his material later this year and next. He also regularly stands in as the presenter on The Ryan Tubridy Show.
Callan, who got his break performing Nob Nation comedy sketches on The Gerry Ryan Show, is also in demand as a voiceover artist and frequently features in commercials as well as on the Nickelodeon series The Day Henry Met.
The latest accounts for Catchy Title Limited show the firm had tangible assets valued at €494,685 at the end of last year and a total of €69,295 was owed to short-term creditors. It had no debts falling due after more than a year.
The satirist’s activities were not entirely immune to the impact of the pandemic, however, as he was forced to cancel a nationwide tour after spending six months preparing for the show.
“We’d sold thousands of tickets and were ready to go,” he told RSVP Live last month. “Then it just disappeared.”
