PIC: There were packets of Tayto crisps available for fans at a Dara O’Briain gig in Sydney Opera House

A classy, delicious touch.

People who emigrate from Ireland are bound to miss lots of things about this little country. One of those things is definitely a pack of Tayto cheese and onion crisps. A simple snack, but it represents so much more.

Because of this, seeing the famous crisps while abroad instills a warm sense of pride in Irish people. The Sydney Opera House have recognised this and acted upon it, to the delight of some lucky gig goers on Sunday night.

Irish comedian Dara O’Briain was performing stand-up in Australia, and Aidan Daly, an audience member, spotted the crisps being sold at one of the most iconic buildings in the world.

A class picture of a class moment. The comedian has denied that he requested the venue to do this, but he is appreciative of the gesture.
