Video: Irish comedian's hilarious "Every Irish woman watching Rose of Tralee" sketch

It's on again tonight.

The Rose of Tralee got underway last night as Dáithí Ó Sé met the first batch of ladies hoping to win the crown this year. As always with the show, Twitter had a bit of a field day.

That was the best episode of Fr Ted ever.... #roseoftralee

Irish comedian Ross Browne, who you'll know from Republic of Telly, has done a sketch that illustrates how a specific part of that big audience watches the Rose of Tralee - Irish girls. See if you recognise your missus, sister or friend here.
