Alan Carr enjoys lunch at top Belfast restaurant on visit for Waterfront Hall gigs

Comedian Alan Carr has been enjoying a few days out and about in Belfast on breaks between gigs.

The "chatty man" was in the city for his shows at the Waterfront Hall on Friday, February 4, and Saturday, February 5. He chronicled much of his time here on social media for all the world to see.

On his Instagram stories, he shared moments he was stopped by fans in Belfast asking for shout outs, with posts he captioned: "I do love Belfast."

Backstage at his show on Saturday evening, Carr posed for a photo with former Olympic athlete, Dame Kelly Holmes, who was stopping by to watch the comedian at work.

And earlier that day, he popped into a top Belfast restaurant, Deane's EIPIC, for a bite to eat at lunch time with tour manager Elliott Andrews. Speaking of the food, Alan Carr said it was "absolutely delicious."

The chef behind the Michelin starred restaurant, Michael Deane, posted a photo of himself and his team posing with the comedian. He said: "Absolutely pleasure to look after @chattyman and his team at lunch in @deanes_eipic with @chefalexgreene thanks for coming to eat with us and putting Belfast back on the map."

Before one of his shows in Belfast this weekend, the comedian posted a photo of himself on stage at the Waterfront Hall, with the caption: "No one turned up!!"

It drew in a huge response, with over 11,000 likes, and many comments from laughing fans.

One commenter said: "Fantastic show last night, such a laugh" with another adding: "Loved the show, thanks for a great night of laughter."
