The Irish rugby team are currently in training camp in Galway, preparing for the Rugby World Cup which gets underway in September.
Joe Schmidt has them training hard, but it’s not all work and no play - the lads were treated to a comedy night last night.
The performer was a secret - Cian Healy posted a picture of an empty stage, captioned: "Somebody take the mic! CampGuest".
Galway-based comedian Tommy Tiernan turned out to be the mystery guest - and judging by their reactions on social media his set went down a treat.
What a man......some craic

Jamie Heaslip said in his Instagram post: "Massive surprise of Tommy Tiernan coming in tonight. F*cking hilarious! Serious treat!".
Even retired Irish players were commenting on the show.
There was no way he was getting out of there without a signed jersey under his arm!!! https://t.co/fCDQh3wC58
