I'm doing a bit of stand up next month. First time and I'm absolutely terrified at the thought of it.

Best of luck Ziggy.

The man who was rescued 4km from shore after he got into difficulty this week  has been identified as Ruairí McSorley, the star of the viral video "Frostbit Boy".

Mr McSorley (24), from the small village of Park in Co Derry, told the Irish Independent he was feeling "100pc" after his 12-hour ordeal.

He was first reported missing at 8am on Sunday after a walker found his clothes and shoes on a beach near Inch, Co Kerry.

Fenit RNLI crew members were stunned to find him alive so far out at sea, alone and surrounded by a pod of dolphins, at 8.15pm.

Speaking yesterday after his release from University Hospital Kerry in Tralee, he paid tribute to his rescuers.

"They're very professional and very slick. They're incredible people, I have to say. They aren't like doctors or paramedics – paid professionals. They're volunteers," he said. "They're definitely a great group of people, there's no doubt.

"They wrapped me up in the blankets and took my body temperature and everything and then just rushed me into the hospital."

Mr McSorley is adamant he is none the worse for his experience.

"There's no victim mentality there. Other than a bit of pain at the back of my knee, I'm 100pc. There's no long-term damage," he said.

"The only thing was my kidneys needed to readjust, so there has been no serious harm. It was only a matter of going into the hospital to heat up a bit. Other than that, I was fine."

Is this a wind up?

Believe it or not, its not.
Can imagine him when he starts drifting away from the coast.

"Awwww now we're in a bit of bother here now so we are"

[Baile Brigín 2]

Is this a wind up?

No, a helicopter pulled him from the sea. But his story seems tall. 12 hours in the Atlantic?

[Targetman]

Sure he was keeping a pod of dolphins amused with his stories of yesteryear!!
