all put on by the young genius. There are videos already popping up of his normal voice.

I've met the buck a few times at school functions (hes in the same class as one of my weans). What you see is what you get with young Ruairi. He's a hoot

Not wise
Maybe not as off the cuff as I first thought
From UTV - "Ruairí is well known around the North West, having set up his own YouTube channel for his comedy impressions and having already compered a charity talent show in the Millennium Forum."
Yes this lad was interviewed just by chance I suppose? ::)

The follow up clip with him acting the half wit about his new "fame" seems to confirm it
http://m.u.tv/entertainment/Frostbit-clip-proves-internet-hit/934e1193-ff42-4894-9cfb-037a0815efb1
I wonder has he any spuds in the year.
Rumours are he's taking over the voice of Shrek from Mike Myers.
Orchestrated career launch.He's simply a more modern version of Kevin Mc Aleer
He is well known in the north west, has presented a few shows before (one about curting I can remember) and a few other things as well as doing youtube videos and the UTV hotseat one last year which was good.

Thought he was hamming it up myself when I saw it.
When i seen him on last night I thought of Hugo Duncan and Mr Brown.

It was excellent.
He was on TodayFM earlier saying he wagged down the UTV crew
He's even made it to a show called The Soup on the E! channel in the US...well done lad.

Indeed! The interview was very funny but wouldn't be fussed on the rest of it. If he can make something out of it why not best of luck to him.
Someone compared him to Kevin McAleer... I hope he's better!!
A bit contrived but fcuk it best of luck to him, a bit of a cross between McAleer, Jimeoin and Tommy the tanker Smythe!
Fair play to the kid, even if it was a bit orchastrated, he still only had a few minutes to make an impression and he certainly did that. How many people get their break from a 10 second interview about the weather on local TV, so he's done well to make the impact that he has. The problem he has now is trying to make a career out of it..... because his impressions are pure dung!

Again the first interview was not orchestrated. UTV were interviewing people in the area (3 other locals appeared in the same news clip) and he happily volunteered himself (after a number of other locals declined). They had no idea what he was going to say.

I don't really care if it was orchestrated or not, thats why I said, "

Watched him on Brendan O Connor tonight.
He's a bit of a one trick pony me thinks.
Give the young lad a break. He's found his 15 minutes and he's having fun with it. It won't last long and then you can all get back to complaining about the next thing that comes along.

A few people have said that here and other places, the main difference is that McAleer was good and the wee lad is not.
The wee lad is pumping out lowest common denominator stuff, sounds great on UTV live and we'll all have a great wee chuckle and isn't he such a funny wee f**ker altogether! Ho ho ho indeed.
Tell him to go to any comedy club and do his act and do so on the same night as Kevin McAleer, I can guarantee you that McAleer would wipe the floor with him.
Best of luck to him , I hope he cleans up, he'd need to do it quick though cos the next Bill Hicks he ain't.
Good luck to the lad but I just don t get him at all.
On the other hand I find Baldy great craic.
Kevin McAleer is not funny.
The youngster just isn't funny, not sure why it is being lapped up by UTV & the like.

Where's your sense of wanton begrudgery? And you call yourself an Irishman. Shameful.
Sure didn't he piss his granda's money up the wall, and sure his brother would've been twice as good as him but for the drink, and dya mind when Francie Bellew put him on his hole? And he was a p***k at national school.

Exactly. Yer man O Connor that does Mrs Brown's boys must be burstin his hole laughin anybody is watching his shite but apparently people are lappin it up.
That shite worked back in the 70s. Slack times Gaybo could pressgang in 'celebs' from local productions to fill a slot on late late show. Surprised this hokum still works. Hold on..... then again I m not surprised really.
It s a blend of Jimmy O Dee in drag (which he always appeared to be in), Maureen Potter doin a northside accent ( Chrristtiee!, will ye come down off dat tree Chrristtee!) - cue 100s die laughing watching in black and white in Roscommon - and Rosaleen Lenihan - who in fairness had talent but was reduced to appearing in panto shite to make a crust.
No wonder Twink behaves like she s still leading the parade. She knows nothing has changed and she s still the best entertainer about when it comes to this ....... whatever it is, that Irish people seem to love??

Ah now Subbie. I'd say there's a locka Ruairi type chaps in the likes of Peter Red Boys on a Saturday night.

Kevin McAleer is not funny.
That's great.
McAleer whether you like him or not has had a stand up comedy, comedy writing & acting career for the last 25 years or so, when the bould Ruairi does the same come & see me.
Good lad, sound job.
Sorry Kevin, didn't mean to offend you. Still don't think your funny.
no offence taken, away you go and watch Ruairi on you tube and have a great evenings crack.
maybe you can send a wee letter into his fan club, one will be set up fairly shortly I'd imagine.
We are blessed to be alive to witness such comedic greatness.
Jaysus you're awful f**king sensitive, calm down he's just some young lad getting his 15 seconds of fame.
Comparing a 15 year making a couple of videos with a performer who has had a 25 year career is absurd. I read Steve Martin's book (wouldn't really recommend it) but the one striking thing was how longs it takes to become an 'overnight success'. These guys work incredibly hard and have way more bad nights than good ones.
This kid hasn't even started anything yet ffs and he is being either ridiculously lauded or absurdly written off. Why does everything descent to FOX News style 100% for something or 100% against it?

Yea, I did stand up on Fox and they were 100% against it. :D
But seriously, no. Standing up on stage trying to make people laugh would be my idea of terror.
I'm doing a bit of stand up next month. First time and I'm absolutely terrified at the thought of it.

You know you've made it big when someone gets your face tattooed on his leg.

https://www.independent.ie/news/star-of-you-wouldnt-be-long-getting-frostbitvideo-revealed-to-be-swimmer-saved-4km-out-at-sea-40784882.html
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."
You wouldnt be long getting frostbit after 12 hours in the sea (sorry i just had to)
Is this a wind up?

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

No, a helicopter pulled him from the sea. But his story seems tall. 12 hours in the Atlantic?
Sure he was keeping a pod of dolphins amused with his stories of yesteryear!!

He was 4km out, not 400m. Could maybe question the length of time but after 8pm when found so could have been a good few hours.

The tide must have carried him out for hours all the same and to keep afloat for that length of time with no lifejacket is no mean feat.
Imagine being 4km out on your own. I don't know about the rest of ye but I think that would be f**king terrifying
We need more info on this story. I read something on reddit about average survival times of adults in the north sea during summer and it was just over an hour, yet he managed to tread water for 12 hours.
According to google treading water burns about 11 calories per minute. This is equivalent to a 1 hour 10km run, but he did 12 of them! So about the equivalent of 3 marathons in a row at a decent pace.

The story smells. IF he has rigged this then he should be charged the callout bill and run out of town.

He's a big cub . A lot in reserve, and a bit like a seal with plenty of "protection" from the elements

A big cub will burn more calories staying afloat.
Im now really hoping hes set this up. Guys youve done some good initial research now yis have to see the job through 😃
This story has the makings of a box office movie!
If he set it up he should be brought back out to sea and left there, wasting time of volunteer rescue groups is not funny.

It's about 170 odd lengths of a 25m pool. If you want to survive you'll swim it quicker than treading water for 12 hours

I'll take your word for it. In that case, he's mildly amusing in the quirky, observational genre, but a long way short of the leaders in that arena.
