Nob Nation is the title of a series of topical comedy pieces broadcast since November 2006 on two national radio stations in Ireland, RTÉ 2fm and RTÉ Radio 1. The programmes are broadcast Monday through Saturday each week. Nob Nation is written and produced by Oliver Callan.
The series features almost 100 characters, including BIFFO, Dame Enda, Garret FitzGerald, and others based on people from Irish and international public life involved in politics, sport and entertainment. All voice acting is performed by Callan. Political leaders Enda Kenny and Bertie Ahern were said to enjoy Callan's attempts at mimicking the other. Two CDs of Nob Nation sketches have been released, in 2007 and a follow-up in 2008.
