Michael McIntyre joked about moving to Dublin at his 3Arena show on Thursday night, after being mugged in London earlier this week.
The 42-year-old comedian was the victim of a violent attack in North London on Monday, and when he took to the stage in Dublin he assured the audience that he and his son, who was present during the attack, were ok.
"It's great to be here, in fact I'm moving here, f*** London," he told the 3Arena audience.

"It hasn't been a great week. But I'm ok. We're ok."
During the incident McIntyre's watch was stolen after two robbers on a moped broke the window of his Range Rover with a hammer.
"I could have done with you lot this week, 9000 Dubliners. Instead I was left to fend for myself. It didn’t go well," he continued to say.
"People have been so nice, saying time is a great healer. Yeah but I don’t know what time it is, as I’ve lost my f****** watch."
Though referencing the incident as part of his show, McIntyre admitted to the audience that it was "touch and go" about whether or not he would be up for performing.
"I’m going to be honest with you, it was touch & go whether I came here. But I’m so glad I did," he said.
McIntyre will play the 3Arena in Dublin until June 10.
