Leitrim's Kevin and Leo shine on the Late Late Toy Show

The Late Late Toy Show is always a platform for young talent to captivate audiences, and this year, two stars from Leitrim proved they were more than up for the challenge. Kevin Keane from Drumshanbo became an internet sensation after his charming and cheeky performance with host Patrick Kielty, while Leo, a young storyteller from Leitrim, won hearts with his captivating tale.

Kevin, the young farmer, brought some Leitrim wit to the show that had viewers laughing and talking long after the show ended. In one of the most memorable moments of the night, Kevin presented Kielty with a box of eggs. The box was labeled as a "Leitrim half a dozen," which led to a hilarious moment when Kielty opened the box to find only five eggs inside. Without missing a beat, Kevin quipped, "Five for the price of six. Sure you know yourself—eggflation!"

The gag left Kielty stumped and amused, prompting him to laugh and give Kevin a hearty "fair play to you." The witty farmer from Leitrim quickly became the hero of the night for many viewers, who felt Kevin’s humour spoke directly to their experiences. Social media buzzed with praise for Kevin’s quick thinking, and RTÉ even suggested his next stop could be Dragon's Den.

But Kevin wasn't the only star from Leitrim that night. Leo, a talented young storyteller, captivated the Late Late Toy Show audience with his winning tale. Leo, who had just been crowned the winner of the under-12 storytelling Fleadh, brought a unique energy and storytelling prowess to the stage. His performance added to the charm of the night, earning him well-deserved recognition.

Together, Kevin and Leo were the talk of social media making Leitrim proud. Their appearances on the Late Late Toy Show not only showcased their individual talents but also highlighted the pride and joy of rural Ireland. Leitrim’s stars may be young, but they certainly made their mark on the nation that night.
