On Saturday 25th February Mark Palmer, comedian, entertained a crowd of nearly 60 at the Celtic Ross Hotel, Rosscarbery, County Cork. The event, organised by  Cork Diocesan Youth Council, was preceded by dinner. This was the third in a series of events for the 20s and 30s age group – and was hugely successful.

Mark Palmer is originally from South Africa and is now based in London. He travels the world as a stand up comic and is in Dublin for a number of events in comedy clubs and in churches. He also told the audience about his Christian faith.
