Cork Comic Exposes Kilkenny’s Posh Side in Hilarious Video

UPDATE: A Cork humourist, known for his alter ego Reggie from Blackrock Road, has just released a hilarious video that takes a cheeky jab at Kilkenny City, declaring it “clearly a posh city.” The video, shared on social media ahead of his performance at the Set Theatre on October 19, has quickly gone viral, captivating audiences with its sharp wit.

In the video, Reggie opens with a humorous proclamation, “Hello, old stocks. I’m in Kilkenny. And I’m f***ing furious,” setting the tone for a comedic tour of the city. He critiques the prevailing belief in Cork that Kilkenny is merely a “toy city,” only to humorously concede that parts of Kilkenny are “almost on a par with Cork.”

As he navigates through the city’s landmarks, Reggie does not hold back on his playful critiques, offering backhanded compliments about the area. Notably, he remarks, “Just as embarrassing, this castle [Kilkenny Castle] is nicer than Blackrock Castle,” a statement that has sparked laughter among locals and Corkonians alike.

Reggie further explores the city, commenting, “It’s not just hurling and finding new uses for phone charging cables. They like a book as well.” His observations include playful references to local establishments like the Left Bank and Rive Gauche, while joking about the city’s historical architecture. “The last time they put up a new building was 1672. Even Dunnes is medieval,” he quips, adding a humorous layer to his exploration.

As the video concludes, Reggie expresses mock suspicion about Kilkenny’s affluence, asking, “So where is Kilkenny getting all its money? Is it just a giant front for the mob? Where did Kilkenny get all its money?” His playful inquiry resonates with viewers, creating a sense of intrigue and amusement.

This comedic take on Kilkenny is not just a laugh; it highlights the evolving perception of the city in popular culture. With its rich history and modern developments, Kilkenny is gaining attention beyond its traditional reputation.
