Comedy genius Dara Ó Briain is ready to mock the weekend at the Kilkenny Cat Laugh Festival

Dara kicked off the first of his shows at the iconic venue on Thursday night and experienced something very 'Kilkenny' afterwards.

The Bray native joined Dermot and Dave on front of a live audience for a chat about his 20th (or so) stint at the Cat Laughs and share the serendipitous encounter:

This was bound to happen in Kilkenny in fairness 😂😂 @daraobriain @CatLaughsComedy @DaveTodayFM @DermotTodayFM pic.twitter.com/McDEYQm91z

Ó Briain also impresses with his language skills and takes a look back at the time he read some fake news about his own death.
