Comedian Dara Ó Briain tracks down notes using CCTV after they are stolen at a Guernsey gig
"Somebody climbed through the foliage" - Comedian Dara Ó Briain shares CCTV footage showing how his notes were nabbed at a gig in Guernsey
Irish comedian Dara Ó Briain has revealed "shocking footage" which shows an audience member taking his notes at a comedy gig in Guernsey.
The stand-up comic had just finished the second of two shows at St James Concert and Assembly Hall in St Peter Port when one male fan decided to sneak on stage through some foliage to nab his jokes.
Dara is known for his appearances on TV panel shows such as Mock the Week and took to X, formerly Twitter, to explain that the venue's CCTV caught the culprit in the act on Friday 19 July.
To Dara's surprise, he recognised the man was part of a group he had met after his set and remarkably, they had invited him for drinks.
The comedian went to confront them and said they were "a bit sheepish" after being caught red-handed.
His final words of wisdom, "If you're planning a life of crime, there are a lot of cameras around."
The video on Dara's feed has been viewed more than 500,000 times.
ITV News has since been told by St James's manager that the fan "is old enough to know better" and has made a "sizeable donation" to the charity which runs the venue.
