An Irish camping shop handled a comedian's 'tent emergency' perfectly on Facebook

Now they’re best friends.

Last night, the internet gag man got in touch with Dublin adventure store The Great Outdoors with a seemingly simple question on their Facebook page

Of course, they were delighted to help

Only then was it revealed that the tent problem was actually an EMERGENCY

Great Outdoors had the best response

Ah yes, the great tent tragedy of Roskilde in ’96

Friends forever
