The Rubberbandits’ Blindboy Appeared On Last Night’s Late Late Show And Here’s How Twitter Reacted

Blindboy Boatclub (or Blindboy Boathouse as Ryan Tubridy referred to him) from The Rubberbandits appeared on last night's The Late Late Show.

The Limerick 'gas cuntist' appeared alongside broadcaster Ivan Yates, artist Robert Ballagh, and writer Martina Devlin, who didn't seem too impressed to be sitting beside this chap with a plastic bag on his face.

The four were assembled to discuss the 1916 commemorations, which the Limerick comedy duo weighed in on with their recent RTÉ show The Rubberbandits' Guide To 1916.

Here's a short clip from last night's show.

Given The Rubberbandits' penchant for absurd comedy (just check out their video 'Liar Liar Danny Dyer'), you might have thought Blindboy would have turned the whole segment into a piss take.

But from the reaction on Twitter, it seemed most people thought he was the voice of reason on the panel.

Here are a few of the tweets.

"up next, discussing 1916 rising with Ivan Yeats and Blindboy from the Rubberbandits"
Oh well this should be good!
