A Belfast boxer's career as taken a bizarre turn after landing a gig as a stand-up comedian at next month's Féile.
Former European cruiserweight champion Tommy McCarthy is set to support well known comedian Paddy McDonnell at the Devenish Complex on August 4. The 31-year-old only made his stand-up debut last weekend with a five-minute cameo in Coalisland.
But such was the success of that performance, McCarthy is a man in demand. On top of next month's Féile invite, he has also been asked to perform at two other open-mic nights in Belfast and Magherafelt.
