Comic takes to Twitter during visit to Donegal

Comedian Jimmy Carr not impressed with' 70s Letterkenny'


Jimmy Carr of 8 out of 10 Cats fame played to a packed house at Letterkenny’s Clanree Hotel on Sunday night.

And while the comedian appears to have gone down a treat with most of the audience, it seems he wasn’t overly enamoured with his first impressions of Letterkenny.

Carr took to his Twitter account to tell his followers he’d arrived in Letterkenny ahead of Sunday night’s gig.

Carr is currently in Ireland as part of his ‘Best of Tour’ and played to audiences in Sligo and Carrick-on-Shannon over the weekend.
