The Waterford accent is sexy out! Boy!

To be fair to Tony Kelly lads, his material is very good in the main. I know him years and wondered would I be able to take his standup seriously, but he is very funny. That clip is spot on. The reason people like Des Bishop, Tommy Tiernan and Neil Delamere are so successful is they hold up a mirror to our behaviours and quirks. Tony does the same, only in a Waterford accent. I would hope people can see past that and at least hope a local lad does well honing his craft in the States.

Go way boi will Ye it's a great accent.Would you rather listen to the rest of Ireland's accents, like Kerry or Cork or Tipp ? I think the Waterford is mild compared to the rest of Ireland.Id love to lock you in a room with a fellow from Ovens in Cork for a couple of hours, you would be begging to hear a Waterford accent then boi.

I know Tony myself a fine actor and comedian and a huge pair of balls to do a stand up in front of your peers in a small place like Waterford, as regards the town/City badge its simple, if your from here you can call it town if your not you better not.

I'm a blow-in and I like the Waterford accent, it's a lot milder than a lot of other counties.

Ony managed to get as far as 0:55 but it's a bad rip off of David Brent yeah.

It's perfectly ok to think a Waterford comedian isn't funny folks, it's all about taste afterall, no need for anyone to get upset over it.

Well said. Just to be clear though, I was only bringing some attention to the fact that Tony is talented as all the preceding comments were negative, and also was trying to say that the accent shouldn't be a barrier to the content of his act. That's all!
