The group was also featured on Fox's MAD TV and released two wide-selling comedy albums.
In 1998, after eleven years in the group, Seán set out on his own, defining his own solo style accompanied by the musical talents of musician Dylan Goodhue.

Thanks again for last night. You were great! I hope you and your wife had a good time (our guests certainly did). Still laughing over the shamwow and the camping bits. As I mentioned near the end of the evening we would love to have back again as our MC next year. We hope you'll consider returning.
