Beautifully done.

COMEDIAN DARA Ó Briain had the perfect response to a Twitter troll calling him out on his political views.

Earlier in the week, Dara made comments about right-wing comedian Andrew Lawrence, who hit out at shows like Mock the Week and “ageing, balding, fat men, ethnic comedians and women-posing-as-comedians” for using UKIP (UK Independence Party) for cheap jokes. Ó Briain said Lawrence was ‘bitter and self-delusional’ to think that the panel pretend to disagree with UKIP to get laughs.

When user @extrastarboss told Dara he wasn’t an immigrant, he had the perfect comeback.

@extrastarsboss I’m from a different country, raised in a different language, diff sports, music, culture, literature media. Get over it.
