Good enough traffic being sent to the Enda site. Over 140 members of the Bertie, Take Enda With You Facebook group and it’s growing. Will we have 300 members by the end of the week?

They must have known it was only a matter of time that these lads would be kings of comedy after seeing this “Irish Seinfeld” video they made. Make sure you’ve peed and are sitting down when you watch this. Those with heart conditions may need to stay away.
