'They can't get rid of me in Limerick.' Limerick comedian Karl Spain was voted the county’s funniest man on Newstalk’s Summer Tour.
at the Hunt Museum, Co Limerick, Mr Spain said everyone is always “surprised” at how nice Limerick is.“Whether they’re at UL, they’re going to a match,” he said. “I’ve met people who have been to UL all over the world.”
“I was in Beijing once and this guy comes up to me and he says, ‘Karl Spain’, and he lived in Limerick – he had studied in UL to learn English but he learned English with a Limerick accent.Mr Spain said they “can’t get rid of him” in Limerick as he still resides in his native county.He said he found his origins as a comedian by telling jokes at a fast-food chain as a teenager.
“Burger Land in Limerick,” he said. “It's gone so many years that i think the O'Connell street road works were just started. Mr Spain officially decided he wanted to be a comedian at 18 when he saw Billy Connolly at the Theatre Royal in Limerick. “It was like watching Lionel Messi play football and say, “you know, I used to play five-a-side with the lads, I might give this a go’,” he said.
